Windshield wiper fluid stopped working on front only?

My windshield wiper fluid does not spray on the front windshield anymore, it still works in the back though so the pump is fine and I am not out of fluid. Anyone know what would cause just the front to stop spraying?

There are 2 separate pumps. Have someone actuate the front washer switch while you listen near the washer bottle for the pump running.

you can swap hoses to see if the line is clogged but the pumps have differant connectors so cant swap to check switch. you can take the connector off and measure the voltage going to it with the switch on (not sure what reading you should get)
pumps are >$10 at the auto parts store

I dont know which pump is on top, but if the fluid is low enough, only one will spray. Add some fluid and find out!
