Default all windshield washer fluid sprayers stopped working...

thought maybe the line had frozen, but I drove for an hour and it never worked. Has anyone had this happen or the motor go? Noticed the light cleaners were not lifting up? I have to do so many miles in the next 10 days and we are getting snow. The dealers near me don't take my car when I call a month ahead of time.

Default conflicting ideas in search, do we have an extra fuse in the box...

and can I change it without going to dealer? Some say 30A, other posts say that is the wrong fuse.

Default Weird.. Mine is in right now for the same problem... winshield wiper fluid motor went

Its not the fuse... I checked it. It died during a snowstorm, and I know it wasn't frozen, as it had worked an hour before.

Default sorry to hear the whole motor went...

mine turned out to be the fuse, at least so far. Went to dealer for another 20 amp because manual says don't use 30A for 20amps. Hoping fuse will not blow again or motor die.
just realizing that every part that has ever failed on my car has been in really cold temps.
