Wiper Fluid Won't Come Out
I am having trouble with wiper fluid not coming out of the nozzles when I try to wash the windows. The fluid reservoir is full. When I try to wash the windows the wipers move but there is no fluid coming out. The nozzles are not plugged. How can I go about diagnosing what is wrong? Is there a pump that draws fluid out of the reservoir through the lines and out on the windshield? If so, how can I check to see if that is the source of my problem?
Thanks for any information or advice!

I will check the tubes connected to the nozzles when I get home later.
Thanks again.

Just a quick update....haven't looked at the fuses yet but my wife said that the check engine light came on today. So I went out and checked the code and it is throwing P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
It seems the majority of the people who have had this code have changed the sensor and it has gone away. However, most of these people have talked about having a sluggish car and my car isn't sluggish at all. Can the sensor still be bad or on its way going bad or is it something else?
Secondly, and this question is a little dumber....can the wiper fluid pump not working be related in any way to this sensor? Like something electrical being wrong with the car?
Thanks.

Another quick update. I checked the fuses and I couldn't find any fuses burnt out. So I guess that means the washer fluid pump is dead. Anyone have experience changing one out?
Also, weirdly enough I went out and checked the sensor and its wires to make sure nothing was loose and then started the car up and the CEL is no longer one so it appears that the issue is resolved.
Now I just have to fix the washer fluid pump.

I went and got one and from a quick scan it looks like it just talks about the wiper motor. I'll have to sit down and do a more thorough reading of the manual it has to be in there somewhere.
I was able to get a good enough view of the pump yesterday and it looks all discolored almost like it had burnt out. After talking with my wife she told me the other day she thought she smelled something burning so that could explain it.
