I would suggest cutting the problem in half. Start by applying air through hose at pump. either by blowing through it or applying shop air slowly.Check if you have air at nozzles. If OK. Use test light or power prob. To check for power at motor when switch is activated.( U can also use a voltmeter). Using a power probe would be your best bet. That way u can check your ground and apply 12v to motor at the same time. If u have power at motor (lite on) the fuse and switch are good. Replace motor and recheck. If lite is inop.Check fuse using test lite. if OK check service manual for location of switch or relay. Depending on make and model. hope this helps

First thing... has it ever frozen. That is...did the washer fluid tank ever have water in it that froze. That is instant death on a pump. Next... pumps take a beating. ...if dirty fluid is used it can damage the pump and lock it up. Probably you will need a new one ..but first check the voltage at the pump when you call for it by pushing the wash button. That may take an assistant to activate while you use a meter or test light at the connector. A pump is relatively easy to remove. You can remove it and then add 12 volts to the 2 power terminals. If it rotates you may have a fuse out or broken connection.

If you can hear the pump running, and you're not getting fluid, try checking for plugged nozzles . I've had that happen to me before.
If you can't hear the pump running then it could be a bad pump motor, blown fuse, or a open/short in the wiring.
Good luck

open the hood, then have your friend turn on the pump while you check out what's going on. check that the pump works, and it's going to the hose that feeds the sprinklers.
you can also just listen to be sure you hear the pump, and check there's enough fluid in there.

Is the motor/pump turning on once you attempt to bathe your windshield? verify to verify the nozzles are no longer plugged up. try this with a rapidly pin, stick it in the nozzle and wiggle it around. additionally verify to make certain if the hoses are related. wish this helps further info: ok the pump isn't working. there's a fuse block in the engine compartment close to the battery. verify the legend on the lid and notice if the fuse is blown for the pump. If it is not there, verify the fuse block below the sprint on the drivers factor. stable success

Can you hear anything? Does it *sound* like the pump is trying to work? If so, it's probably not the fuse... Could be the pump, however. If you don't hear anything, it could still be either, but it would be worth while to check the fuse first.

if you hear something than the pump is working. do you get any fluid outta the nozzles? if you only get a little bit of fluid and then a lot of air you might want to replace your hoses

Please tell me what type of vehicle you have..And do you heard the pump humming? Have you checked the connector to the pump to see if you are getting any power supply?
