Hey JACQUELINE17,

When you turn the windshield washers on can you hear the motor running, if not check the fuses and if it is okay you will need to replace the washer motor. If you hear the motor running but the washers are not working the nozzles could be plugged in which case a small pin can be used to help unclog them. do this while the washers are running. Here are a couple of gises to help you.
