Default Headlight Washer

My left side headlight washer is not working. I replaced the pump last year, and they both worked fine. The first time I used them this year, the left side failed to pop up, but the right side worked. Any ideas why one side would work, and one not?

Just so I understand

The left side doesn't work at all or just doesn't pop up and you see dripping washer fluid below the car.

if nothing - then its most likely just a clogged line or somthing simple like that

I've got a headlight washer if you need it. I removed mine a few months ago.

the washers are raised hydraulically so if it's not coming up it's not getting enough pressure. the fact that you see fluid dripping underneath most likely means theline is partially clogged somewhere

No fluid comes out. It must be clogged. I wasn't sure if it's hydraulic or electric. I assumed hydraulic. I'll dig into it this weekend. Thanks.
