Default Windshield Fluid

I got hit on my driver's side fender, and for some reason my windshield-wiper fluid will not spray. I took off the bumper cover and checked the wiring, and it all seems fine, and when I turn on the spray I can hear the suction forming in the hose, but I have no idea what's wrong.

Is the hose fully connected? Maybe there is a leak somewhere

I can't see any fluid spraying out of a broken hose anywhere, but I can't see the hose as it disappears into the engine bay.

Edit: Of course there's fluid! Come on now, what kind of question was that?

Anyone else have some advice? This isn't that big of a problem, but I'd really like to fix it so I won't have to worry about it.

check your fuse under the dash.......and make sure the connector that connects to the bottle isn't damaged or unplugged

if you've recently waxed your car, the wax easily clogs the spary nozzles. A safety pin can take care of that...

chances are you have a pinched hose or the motor isn't creating enough pressure to spray but clean your sprayers check the hose and the motor
