The windshield sprayer only works on passenger side
The sprayer itself may be attached to the underside of the wiper arm and is removable. Carefully remove the sprayer, disconnect the hose, and turn on the wiper and the washer. It liquid comes out of the hose, the sprayer is clogged. If no liquid comes out, the hose could be clogged, so replace the hose. You need to find the other end at the black plastic manifold that divides the washer flow into the two sprayers. Disconnect the passenger side and blow into in, just in case to unclog it, then try again. If the washer is working for the driver side, that manifold is unclogged.
Soaking the sprayer overnight in vinegar could unclog it., but the sprayer is cheap to buy new.

There are a number of different issues that could cause this.
-The circuit for the wiper should be the same as the washer; same fuse. -I'd suggest trying to run the washer while the hood is open and the engine off. If it runs, you should hear a dull whine.(a 2nd person might be of use to help look and listen)...(find the pump by following the hoses from the wipers to a unit mounted close to the dashboard in the engine compartment)
-If it runs, check to see if any fluid is coming from a hose that might have become disconnected.
-If
the pump runs, and if you see no fluid coming from anywhere, and if you
can reach the hose connected to the washer pump, pull that hose off the
pump. Try running the pump again to see if anything comes out in a good
stream.
-If the pump doesn't run at all, check to make sure the connector hasn't come loose.
-If
the pump still doesn't run, check to see if you have 12 volts at the
connector at the pump. A simple check can be done with an auto bulb
connected to the plug at the motor while the pump switch is pushed.
-If
you have power at that point, you likely need to replace the pump and motor.(depending upon the age of vehicle & your mechanical abilities...a call to a local wrecking yard is suggested ..atleast to compare the cost vs. new)
hope that helps

Try running a ground wire from the wiper motor unit...to a ground on the body of the vehicle. Any place solid will do. Many wiper issues are due to broken ground circuits. Good luck. Chip
SOURCE: passenger wiper quit working
motor only drives one arm to wipe. the passenger side arm might be disconnected. you have to reomve parts and visulally inspect. you might need a bolt or a washer, but should be an easy realignment fix.

check the wiper relay or multi function switch
