Default No wiper fluid jets

Simply put my windshield washer reservoir is full, but when I hit the switch by the steering wheel nothing comes out of the jets. I checked everything down by the reservoir and it all seems fine. I'm a bit at a loss unless one of the motors/pump has gone wrong on me. Anyone have any ideas?

When you hit the switch, do you hear the pump running? You should! If not, then check for power at the connector to the pump. A simple test lamp or multimeter will do the trick.


If no power, then check fuses. Not sure of the location of the particular fuse, but there are two fuse boxes inside the engine compartment, one on each side near the front just inside the wings/fenders. Small black boxes about 4" x2". Then there are the two fuses boxes beneath the rear seats, accessed behind the panels on the front of the seats, down by the floor.


And there is a fuse box in the boot/trunk, behind the battery. Check for any blown fuses and replace.


That's a start...................
