    Most windshield washers whether car or truck have one hose from the reservoir/pump that feeds into a tee (#3 circled in blue). From the tee the fluid gets fed to both the driver's and passenger side of the windshield through the nozzles (#1). You are saying that the passenger side used to work and just stopped working and no one worked on the washer system? A pic is always helpful.
