The wipers work but no spray from the washer. Full of fluid?

Can you hear the pump motor working when you command the washer? If so then you may have clogged nozzles, if not is is common for the pump motor to go out, also we should check the fuse as well.

Lets check fuse # 116 in the fuse panel under the hood, and fuse #16 in the fuse panel under the left side of the dash. If everything is okay here is how to change the pump motor out. Check out the images (below). Let us know what you find.

I just ordered a new pump and fluid lines. Is there a trick to get connectors off? Thank you Ken

I assume you mean electrical connectors. There will be a safety that will need to be pressed or lifted to enable the connector disengagement. It will be on the side of the connector, if you upload an image I can show you. .
