Default Wiper Fluid not working

Just bought a 2014 FLEX and looks like the windshield wiper fluid is not working. On the drive home I figured... awe.. must be out of fluid. Well, I filled it with fluid, I can hear the motor come on to spray out the fluid... but nothing.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Sometimes the pumps go south, but if the level in the washer bottle goes down when you select the wash function , the possibility of a hose coming off under the hood is worth looking into.

ALL GOOD!!! After getting a good look under the hood, I found BOTH hoses were disconnected? Maybe someone accidentally pulled them out doing something. Oh well. Working now !!

Hanky:
It looks like the forum was in your good hands while I was gone.
I'm back now, so I'll be commenting again.
For better or worse!

Dont worry Hanky; we've all done this for a while, and as I've always said, I can still stub my toes with the best of them!
