Default Windshield washer

Windshield washer won't spray fluid. What is the proper way to remove the unit to examine the pump?

(2) 10mm bolts that hold the tank down and then you can lift it up enough to remove the plugs from the low level sensor and washer pump... you will also need to disconnect the washer fluid line from the pump... it's a pretty straightforward job

Does pump run? When I bought my car the nozzles were clogged with hard water deposits, all I did was remove and soak them in CLR then they were good as new.

Thanks for the reply. I can't hear the pump and will first remove the unit to check the electrical connections.

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to make sure that I didn't have to deal with any obstructions once I removed the bolts.
