Default Wiper fluid not coming out

Or at least not coming out from the front wipers, it seems that the spray comes out for the headlights. There is one hose in the car that seems disconnected, but I think it may be an overflow hose, so it should not be that. What else should I check?

Thanks

could be a hose, a clogged nozzle or a bad pump/connection/switch. If a hose was off, I'd suspect you'd find water leaking somewhere. Try going backwards from the nozzles - disconnect their hoses - any water? then trace the hoses back to the pump. Does the pump buzz when actuated?

Doesn't it have 2 pumps? One for the headlights and one for the windshield?
