Default help washer fluid doesn't come out

i have an 01 rx300 and my washer fluid stopped coming out when i try to clean the windows (front and back). the wipers still work and I've checked the "washer" fuse, I think it's #41 and the fuse is fine. anyone have this problem before? could it be a motor? if so, does anyone know where it is located? Thanks.

I added a thread not tool long ago . Install on the windshield wiper motor. In your case just flush your lines and see if that helps.

Occasionally the washer jets will clog. If only one jet is affected, or if water just dribbles out, carefuly stick a medium to fine sewing needle into each and wiggle it around. I used to have an Opel that regularly fouled the washer jets and I just kept a needle stuck in the hood gasket in easy reach. The cause of most of these clogs is usually mineral deposit - from some brands of washer solvent.

If none of the jets work, your problem is more serious. Check out dmc888's excellent post on replacing the pump.
