the windshield washer isn't working?
 
The front washer is NOT working, yet the
rear washer is working fine. I realize one pump does both jobs. So is it a relay that has given up the ghost or...?

Open your bonnet and look on the left side of the engine compartment... make sure a black delivery hose isn't pinched. If it is, you'll block flow of the fluid to the jets. It's on the left as you look at the engine, BTW.
Do you hear the pump running when you call for fluid? That's probably it.

Here are a couple of photos I just took to illustrate better. My MINI is dirty!
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply Dave, first of all. It's not an issue of blocked fluid. The motor doesn't come on when actuated at the switch. It does when I engage the rear washer. No sound, no motion, nothing when I turn on the front. That's why I thought it was in a relay. I couldn't find anything other than a fuse for thae washer, and it was fine
