A year ago I had the same problem. No spray on front or rear window. No motor sound when activating the washer function. I ordered a new motor, installed it and still nothing. It's like no power is getting to the motor. All fuses are fine. I got side tracked and pretty much forgot about it, but now winter is here and your post reminded me to get my *** in gear. Sorry no solution.

I had the same problem, turned out to be that one of the hoses that runs from the pump motor up under the hood to the sprayers came lose. I had to pull some of the insulation off to find it.

Once I plugged the hose back in, it fixed the problem

See if anything comes out when the hood is lifted.....

The black washer feed line hose on pass side going to hood coming in from below windshield corner often gets kinked once the bonnet is closed.....make sure it is properly placed / secured and close bonnet.

Thanks for all the great tips I will try them out and yes it freezes where I live int he California mountains once in awhile, I did not have freeze protection in the wiper water but it seemed to be a problem during the summer when it was warm. I can't remember hearing the motor but I'll check
