Do you hear the washer pump running or not?
If you do hear it, there is a hose disconnect point on the passenger side near the windshield. Disconnect the hose there, run the pump, and see if the fluid comes out there. If it does, then your spray jets are probably clogged.

This may sound stupid, but with the cold weather there, have you put low temp windshield washer in the tank? Maybe the lines froze? Had that happen to me this year. For some reason a place here in MN sold windshield washer that freezes and they fooled me by making it blue. I had never seen that before her in MN. Now I always check the temp it protects down to.
You know what, this could probaly be the reason. It never snows or freezes here in Texas so i just didnt put too much attention when i put the fluid in the tank. I used regular water & soap i had laying around. well that was in the summer with the temp at 120 but it never did finish up before winter came. & just a couple of weeks ago we had some crazy rare freeze come threw & it was right after that when it busted!...DAMN! What kinda damage could it have done if that is what went wrong?

Not likely. I had mine freeze and after I got it thawed out there was no problems.

you havent hit any small animals have you, a raccoon decided he couldn't stand to live one more day and jumped out in front of me(pass side), some how the little f#$^er took out both the plastic end of the radiator and the pump for the windshield washer sprayer(behind the fog light, low on the bottle)

here ya go
put fluid in the tank, press the button to run the motor and pump the fluid, do you hear the motor running to pump the fluid? if yes, then look under the right front of the car the find the leak. There is a hose connector hidden behind the right front wheel shield. Sometimes this connector works its way loose and the fluid pours out and onto the floor.
