Default widshield washer not working?

got no juice from either front or rear windshied washers. the reservoir is full (with winter fluid), and I can hear the pump each time I press the control, but nothing squirts out. any thoughts?
thanks

Sounds like a personal problem. Better see the doc.

Default Re: widshield washer working again...

Me thinks it was somehow clogged and cleared by magic? or else the milder temperature melted a frozen line. Reservoir was filled by the dealer at last service...maybe they used crappy juice? Anyway, thanks for the replies.

Default yeah, must have been a clog before the line forks, preventing fluid from going to either window

Had it been dipping into freezing temps where you live? If so, check to be sure you've got a winterized mix of washer fluid.
