washer fluid pump doesn't work

i can't spray any washer fluid on my windshield. the pump isn't making any noise, so its not a leak, the pump just isn't working. is it a fuse i need to replace?

I'm going to guess that your pump motor is rusted up. Pull it off and look at it.. sometimes you can clean 'em up and get a few more miles on 'em.

Replacement (new ones) washer motors are cheap on ebay. That is where I got mine. Use this search string for parts and accessories:

36-hits less than $30.
