    Hello. I just noticed yesterday that no windshield washer fluid was coming out onto my windshield. I could not hear any motor going when I pulled on the wiper lever. I don't usually pay attention to the noise when I clean my windshield. So I am not sure if any noise can be heard when I pull on the wiper lever. The windshield wipers do come on like usual but without any washer fluid. The rear windshield washer fluid comes out when I turn the lever for the rear. I also checked the washer fluid level and it is close to being full. I am not sure if it is a bad fuse or bad washer pump? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    G'day,
    Has the biosphere blocked the sprayer nozzle?
    Usually what happens here if the car is parked outside for some time between spray uses and then doesn't spray.
    Poking with a pin does the trick mostly.
