My washer fluid stopped spraying so I checked the resevoir for a clog and there was nothing then I checked the visible hose for clogs and there was nothing there neither. I have yet to pull up the cover from around the nossels themselves to check the hose up there do to time but I did check to listen if the motor was engaging and this is what I found.

When the button is pushed I can here the motor make a one or two clicks so I know it is getting some kind of connection but that is all it does. From what I've researched it is supposed to make some kind of whining noise which it is not. So my question to you is whether or not the clicking I'm hearing is the only thing I should be hearing or should i be hearing something else as well.

The wipers are working fine just the fluid doesn't spray. Dumb and simple problem but any input would be appreciated.

Sounds like the pump is out. Follow the hose out of the pump and you'll see it comes to a 'T' about a foot or so away. Disconnect the hose at the T and then have someone press the button. If no fluid sprays out, you know it's the pump.

be sure to unplug the connection to the pump and check with a mulitmeter that your getting power when you hit the switch too... I've seen bad grounds or shorts cause this effect....
