Default C4 Windshield Washer Pump Problem

Hi group!

I have an 85' Corvette 4+3 and I'm going through and trying to get all the odds and ends stuff worked out while the snow falls here in Michigan.

The problem I'm having is I'm not getting any windshield washer fluid onto the window when I try to clean it off. No pump noise no nothing and I'm not really sure where to start. Here are my questions:

1. Where is the windshield washer pump located?
2. Is it electrical or piggey-backed off of the serpentine belt?
3. Any ways to start diagnosing (My Haynes manual mentions nothing about this condition or maintenance to this system.

The resovoir is full and up until a month or so ago it worked like a champ. I'm pretty confused at this point.

Any help you can provide would be great!

Thanks!

Jim

The pump is below reservoir. Check all connections at wiper motor and pump. Here is some help from my FSM.
