Windshield washer fluid just stopped.

Windshield washer fluid just stopped. Yes it’s full. I don’t hear the motor running. How do I troubleshoot this? I may have missed it in the tech folder.
what Fuse..? Obviously it could be the motor itself. Or the switch. I absolutely suck at electrical anything so the five year old explanation is probably about right for me 😆

Pretty sure it's listed in the owners manual, but I'll double check...

Yep page 127 lists it as fuse 11 10 amp in interior panel. Then page 131 has the relay in 33 hole of exterior panel. If yours is a later model with only one power distribution panel then I suggest your owner's manual.

Was that the fix? If not there is a pump screen that can get clogged from debris

Yes. Fuse fixed it. 👍🏻. Had to go into work just as it went out and I posted. Hopefully nothing is bad that causes to blow again… 🤔
thanks

Easy fix!

If the fuse blows again, you will need to "absolutely suck" less on electrical stuff and use a multimeter most likely. Maybe you will get lucky though and this is a good start to a great weekend.

had trouble all my life conceptualizing it, yet I can “see” neuro anatomy and all the flow of “electrical” current that drives that NO problem.

man’s gotta know his limitations… I usually hand electrical stuff to the wife. She is legit good at it. I’ll repave the driveway while she is working on it…
