That's wht windshield washer system. When you hit the button that's supposed to squirt it on the windshield does the pump make noise? You gotta take the piece out all the way on the bottom that connects from the tank to the hose that goes to the fittings and there's a little screen in there take it out and clean it might be plugged up and put it back In. Or your nozzles are clogged. I think my passenger one is clogged
