Thanks for that- I cannot hear the motor so it's probably dead like u said- I am not mechanically inclined do I'll get some shop to fix it- any idea about what that will cost? Or how much is that motor? Thanks.

They won't fix the motor, they'll just replace it. I bet this is something you can do, if you can get the reservoir out.

It really is an easy job, but regardless, the pump part # is : 67 12 8 377 612. Do not pay over $40.00 for it and do not let anyone charge you over an hour of labor to R&R it.

Thanks for your help! I'll have to get someone to do it- I am just a dumb girl and don't know anything about fixing cars (altho I did used to change the oil and filter on my 1978 Honda Accord but that's as far as I got)- good to know what to expect (or insist on) price wise. thanks again.

Okay why not get someone to look over your shoulder while you do it.

If someone is going to look over my shoulder why don't they just do it for me? That's the way I look at it at least!!!

Folks, it could be something as simple as a disconnected hose. Best to take it to someone so they could look at it.

Yeah but that would cause leaks every time she worked the washers, and she said no leaks, so......
 
This is a pretty easy diagnosis
 
1. Work the washer. Do you hear the motor running?
 
2. If yes, you have a loose hose or plugged line or nozzle. Check same
 
3. If no, you have a blown fuse, bad washer switch or (most likely) bad washer motor

I dont hear the motor- and there are no leaks. The reservoir is full, so the dead motor makes sense. Idid check the fuse and it looked ok (i think that fuse also controls the glove compartment light or something else that was working when I checked it so it cant be the fuse). Thanks!
