Not sure on exact location, but when you pull the nozzle to spray, do you hear any light buzzing type of noise? The nozzles should spray even without the car on... just turn the key to accessory so you dont have to listen over the motor. If you hear nothing, the pump is probably out.

I don't hear the pump, is there a fuse for it?

Just find your washer fluid bottle under the hood
Check the connections on the top and bottom are clean and connected
Yes u will want to remove the washer bottle to access the pump motors on the bottom
It's two screws/bolts
Also check the hoses are connected and not blocked or crimped anywhere

Lastly check the nozzles on the hood aren't painted over
It happens
Then check under the driver dash
Check allllll the fuses
Needs to be done anyway
They rattle loose, corrode, blow but don't show, and the clutch master cylinder is prone to leaks and will foul ur whole fuse box
