First check that the motor receives power when the stalk is pressed. If it doesn't then it's time to move upstream. You could check all of the fuses or just check the stalk.

I've had the squirters clog with wax and just about dribble out. Cleaned the holes with a safety pin. HTH

Can you hear the motor run when you push the switch? That should tell you if you need to chase electrical, or look for an obstruction.

I can't hear anything when i push in the button, so i don't think it is getting power. fuses all checked good. once it stops raining i will check for any loose connections. thanks for the help guys.
oh by the way i think the nozzles are clear but will double check them too.

What does anyone think about applying 12v directly to the washer motor?

That should make it spin. You wouldn't need very big wire, it should draw minimal amps, but I would unplug the harness the harness first.
