Default Windshield Washer not working

I have a 2005 z51 vert and the windshield washer is not working. The wipers are fine but the pump wasn't working so I removed the pump and decided to test the pump off the car and it started right up when I hooked 12V to it.

So the question is there a fuse that is just for the pump? I guess the next step is to hook a voltmeter to the pump's plug and hit the washer button.

Anything other thoughts and/or insights?

Thanks!!!!

My wipers on my 2007 stopped working and it was the fuse for the washer pump that was blown. Replaced the fuse and the wipers started working. Wonder if you could have the reverse. Maybe your wiper motor fuse is blown and not allowing the washer pump to work.

Start with the wiper pump fuse in the engine fuse box to make sure it not blown, and if it still good, then suspect that the switch stock assembly in the steering column needs to fix/replaced instead.
