lift the hood

look for the hose that runs to that sprayer. this is very easy, if your one side works then its all about connection. or take a safety pin push in the sprayer, that does not work see if clogged. if those simple things do not work,go to the dealer.

If you happen to have a hypodermic needle, my dealer uses one of those to force air through the clog, or at least he did some years ago on my Legend. Have not had any issues with this car.

Haven't tried it on my RL, but on other cars, I've been able to clear built up wax residue etc by using a straightened out (small - not one of the bigger ones) paper clip.

If it's just one side not working, then usually a clog of some sort. If none of the washers are working, then look at the hoses coming from the washer bottle/pump. Might even have a helped actuate the pump while you hold the disconnected line to make sure the washer pump is working.
