windshield washers not working 07mcs

I have a 07 mcs. the front windshield washers stopped spraying. the rear still works. WHen I engage the front i dont hear anything, when i engage the rear i hear the pump. I check the owners manual for a location of relays or fuses and didnt find anything. I found a fuse on the passenger side interior that looked like it would be for the washers, but the fuse was good.

anyone have any ideas?

Here is the diagrams and the parts to check.



#3 is the double pump washer which control the front and rear.

#5 is the headlight washer pump.


Check the hose connect from the hood to the double pump down in the tank, tank is on the driver side engine bay and goes into the front driver side bumper area.

#3 is the hose runing to the hood nozzles. You could have a clog in the system there by the little valve in the center of the Y.

Also check the nozzle themselves, you can try cleaning out the heads with a pin as they can get clogged at the tip of the nozzles.

You can try cleaning them first then checking the rest of the system.


Thanks and good luck.
