According to google, I have some kind of dual-action pump for the window washer fluid. The pump works for the rear of the car, but not for the front. Before it stopped working it would respond (by making noise) but then no water would spray out. Now it doesn't respond at all. I've checked what fuses I'm aware of (only one seemed relevant on the interior compartment and it stopped the wiper blades from working when I removed it) and the fuses in the engine compartment don't seem to be even related to it. If it's one pump, wouldn't a blown fuse mean the motor would quit working all together? Where would I find these hidden fuses at if that does sound like the issue?

I've linked the only relevant diagram I can find below, can't find the one for the engine compartment.

Hi Wgrace07,

There are 2 separate motor pumps for the system and most probably the front washer motor is bad. You would have to remove the fender liner from below to gain access to the pumps. From there you can test for power spply etc.
