Default Washer fluid not spraying

Ok I replaced the fuse #37. I can hear the pump running, but nothing comes out. Tank is full and there is no leakage, but can't get anything to come out. Any idea how to fix this problem? My model does not have the headlight washers, it's only the main windshield, but I just can't seem to get any liquid out. It was working a few weeks ago, I imagine that the fuse blew which caused it to stop working initially, but now that the new fuse is in, I can actually hear it running.....but nothing. Please help, would hate to send it to the dealer if I can avoid. Thanks.

Default Pump clogged?

Might be some debris in the tank, stuck in the pump intake? Just a wild-*** guess. Might have been why fuse blew in the first place too.

Or pump is just fubared. Can still run without actually pumping anything. Replacement pump is about $20 from ECS I think? Fairly easy to replace it yourself.

Default Could be clogged nozzles. Unclip them from the hood and see if water

comes out the supply tube when disconnected. Work your way back to the reservoir. There could be a clog before the "tee" in the supply line. It would be unlikely that both nozzles are clogged but not impossible. A needle of the correct size can clean them out.
