Default Windshield Washer Not Working

I searched and did not find any threads on this. But the Windshield Washer just quit the other day. Do any of you guys know if there is a fix for this or if the car will require a new washer pump? The wipers work so I know it is not the fuse.

I filled up the tank with fluid even though there was no DIC warning.

There is a fix for everything.

Can you hear the pump run?

If not, it could be the pump, the column switch, or a wiring issue.

If the pump does not run, I would first try disconnecting it and jumpering power to it to see if it works. Pink is power and Black is ground.

If jumpering it makes it work we will have to do some more diagnostics.

If jumpering does not make it work then you have a bad pump. I think that is the most likely thing going on.

I cannot hear it run. So I'll try the diagnostic you recommend. Thanks
