Help: Windshield washer problem

Hey guys! Looking for some advice. My windshield washer won't spray anymore. When i pull the lever up to spray nothing happens. usually you would hear a little noise or buzz, but when i pull the lever up nothing happens, except the wipers start to move. I'm thinking that the pump that sprays the washer fluid might be out of commission. The washer tank is full and the fluid in it is rated for -40 degrees, none of the lines are frozen, but regardless if the water was frozen i should still hear the pump trying to spray the fluid at least. any input is much appreciated! thanks!

yeah if you cannot hear the pump, its prolly dead. gonna have to take the bumper off and locate where its mounted on the side of the fluid tank. you may be able to clean up the connections and get it working again. otherwise they are pretty cheap for a new one at the auto store.
