Windshield sprayer line access

I have a 95 Ford ranger where the passenger side windshield sprayer is not functioning. With the help of the worker at the auto parts store, I figured out that the hose is probably just disconnected from the sprayer since it is leaking water on that side with no leaks visible in the line under the hood when I turn on the sprayer. I removed the electronics box that is bolted to the firewall in hopes of accessing the sprayer line, but my access was blocked by a box that contains the box I removed. Now I am at a loss as to how to access the point where the hose connects to the sprayer. I'm assuming there is a simple way to access this. Any advice?

The sprayer on the passenger side of my 96 is also not working. Next week is spring break for me so it's on the to do list.

There is a little metal access panel on the firewall. Its kinda hard to get your arm in there though. PITA...

The washer pump is on the bottom of the washer fluid tank.

mine seemed to be not working a couple days ago but I wiggled the electrical connector and it works now so just bad connection, different problem, but it was an easy fix so I didn't have to chase it further
