Default Winshield washer system

Mine doesn`t work!
It doesn`t squirt not even a single drop of water.
What could it be? What to check? Anyone with experience?

Did you try it while your headlights were "ON"? I believe they only work when they're on.

you don't need headlights on for the windshield wipers to come on. the headlight washers yes. if it doesn't work maybe should get dealer to check on it

Are your jets plugged up or the pump isn't working? can you hear any humming noise from the pump when you engage the switch?

What happens if you activate the headlight washer with the headlights off?

I believe not.
That means the motor pump is gone or something might be loose/disconected?
I`ll have it check by an automotive electrician I know.

Nothing happens. Kind of silly to put that limitation on it.
