Windshield washer issue

The front windshield washer on my Ex isn't working. The rear works fine. As I understand it, there is one pump that does both the front and back. What all should I be checking before I give up and get a new turn signal switch?

Thanks,
Lifer

Check the lines. Open your Hood and have someone press the washer button on the steering column.

I'd bet you have washer fluid spilling out on the side of your truck around the front passenger wheel. You might have a hole in the line.

Just this past weekend I tackled the project and found 3 different holes. Bought replacement GATES tubing from the Irish Parts store and fixed it up.

Happy to hear the back works.

Could be the nozzles as well. The carfax on my EX show it going back to the dealer like 3 times for windshield wiper repair. They replaced the motor once and drivers side nozzle twice!
