I feel a little silly after reading the complex nature of some of these posts, but I still need help. I'll find a used Chiltons asap, but for now HELP!

I have a Ford Taurus 2001, 130,000 + miles, v6 or 8 not sure but probably not relevant to this question. My windshield wiper squirters won't squirt. I saw that the hose was broken that leads from the ww liquid reservoir to the squirter on the passenger side, I took a hose off of another vehicle and attached it, the clamp was fine, and I used some duct tape too. The passenger side squirter now works, but the fluid only dribbles on the drivers side. I can't follow where the hoses go because they are obscured from view. I'm not sure exactly what to do next, can you give me any suggestions? A diagram or anything to give me a clue as to what I can do without breaking anything else would be really helpful! Thank you!

Don't feel silly. Using another hose and duct tape was ingenious.
Get a sewing needle or dressmakers/quilters pin and stick it into the holes the fluid is supposed to come out of a couple times. Try the washer and maybe clean again.
