Default windshield washer... no workie

i checked both fuse panels, and i have no blown fuse.. i looked at the thing that plugs into the resivour... its good, i think, and there are no cut wires...

i push the switch in to wash, and i dont even hear the thing kick on... wipers still work..

I am sure its the little motor inside the washer tank. Its on the side with the wires running to it. I have seen them get clogged up with crap and cause them not to work, might try to clean it first. If not then its $16

check for voltage at the pump motor when you turn on the switch.
no power = wiring or fuse problem.
power at the motor = bad motor.
