Windshield washer pump not working. Help.

Figured the pump was no good after all these years. New pump, didn't work. Maybe bad switch? Replaced that. Can't find a blown fuse anywhere in the fuse box. Tried swapping some of the relays around that said windshield stuff. No luck. No power to it.
Open to any other ideas to try? Is there another fuse some where?

It'll help if you post the year and engine of the vehicle.

I Will have to check that out. I disconnected my rear wiper motor a while ago when it went bad. Was draining my battery. But the wash function should still trigger the pump correct?

Washer pump does not work with the rear wiper either.
I tried swapping so relays around under the hood. Driver side. But I think they are for the fuel pump? Found two in the dash. One is a bigger blue relay. Looks like it's the flasher for the turn signal.

The washer motor is one in the same for front and rear, spinning one direction for front, the reverse for rear. Since you are a 2002 with the non GEM electrical platform, if you haven't gotten a wiring diagram already I would locate one and trace the path. You may have something as simple as a poor ground. Message me about your wiper motor.

This YT video may not be for your exact model (6.8) but likely very similar (if not identical) should you most likely need to replace it.
