Washer Pump Fuse?
Symptoms: Washer pump is no longer pumping, plenty of fluid. Front and rear wipers work correctly
Searching for related issues, I keep seeing references to a fuse for the fluid pump. I have the Owners manual and have gone through the fuses and Power Distribution Box and only see #49 is for Front wipers/washer. Is this the fuse? Am I missing something?
What else should I be looking for?
tks in advance for any help.

I have the same issue. Did you figure it out?

Thread necro, this is happening to my 07 EB as well. Fuse 19 in the interior fuse box is for the rear wiper, but does nothing for the washer fluid as far as I can tell. Although my rear wiper won't work either, I don't believe it's related to the washer fluid not pumping. I think the washer fluid pump is bad. I believe they are directly behind the passenger side headlight and can be accessed by removing said headlight.

I just investigated mine today. The pump was locked up. I took the pump off and carefully pried the bottom plate off of the pump. I pulled the impeller off, it just slides off, and took a pair of needle nose pliers and worked the impeller shaft back and fourth until it spun freely. I then took a tooth pick and dabbed some sealant back into the grove that the bottom plate of the pump fits into. Let the sealant dry. Re-installed the pump and tested.. It now works like a champ.
While I was waiting for the sealant to dry I got on Advanced autoparts web site and priced out a new pump, $16.99. Either way, easy fix.

Where is the pump located exactly?

it's behind the right side (passenger side) headlight. Before removing the headlight, find the washer hose just aft of the reservoir tank. Mine had a T in the line. I took the hose apart and blew air through the hose and watched it come out the nozzles. They can get clogged also and make the stream weak.
