Hello,

Can you hear the washer pump come on?
If the pump does not come on it could be due to a fuse/wiring or a bad pump.
If you hear the pump but it does not spray fluid then it could be a clog in the system or a disconnected hose.

The fuse is located in the fuse block under the hood. Test the fuse to verify if it is good or need replacement.

If the fuse checks out then nest step would be to see if you are getting power to the washer pump. It will require you to disconnect the pump connector and test with a voltmeter for power.

If you have power on that connector then it is likely the washer pump that is faulty.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
