Windshield Wiper Fluid Empty?

Windshield Wiper Fluid Empty?
Hello Everyone,
I posted not to long ago that my windshield wiper fluid empty light is flashing indicating that I need to refill the fluid, I did that and still the light is flashing and nothing is happening when I try to use the wiper sprayers. I can hear the motor trying to pump it, but nothing. I called the dealer and the mechanic said that the 2006 models have two tanks for fluid, so where is the other one? I found the one on the passenger side that goes into the fender. Can someone please help me?

Ho about getting a pic of the engine bay, showing the sides too... that way we can check if you have one or two filler spouts.
Also, have you filled the fluid up to the marker... to the top?

And haven't had to add washerfluid?!
if equipped, second filler is the same spot on oposite fender.

Can anyone think of anything else I can try? I will post pictures later on after I leave "The Sharpe Collection" dealership in Grand Rapids, MI.
Thank you everyone for your support and thoughts so far!

If you are gonna diy it, you can get a used one from someone parting out a car...waymotorworks does this with wrecks sometimes....so often it is a goodway to get some parts cheaper than the dealer...he can get new too cheaper than dealer prices too.

I have a somewhat opposite problem. While the empty light does not turn on and I just added winter version of wiper fluid, no fluid comes out. I too have only one tank since my Mini does not have headlight wipers. I thought that I may have a leak but I have not noticed any leaking.
Does anyone know what else could be causing the problem?
