Windshield washer problems
#1

Start at the beginning.
Disconnect the washer hoses where they enter the wiper arms. See if fluid comes out the hose.
If not then remove the panel under the wipers and trace the hoses back to the pump. You could have a blockage but I doubt that's it since both washers are not working.
Dumb question? Have you got under the car and checked if the hose is hooked up to the fluid reservoir? If you remove the belly pans I would take the hose off the outlet of the reservoir as the pump is at the bottom of the tank. See if the pump will move any fluid. It could be bad and still making noise.

Actually I experienced this problem on Joyces Jag long, long ago. The blockage was actually at the "Tee" fitting located left corner under the windshield wiper cover (near the cabin filter).
Check out the "How To" guides here for the cabin filter replacement thread for details on to gain access. I blew ours out with compressed air.
