No Washer Fluid

No Washer Fluid
So i got home from college and was driving my truck and relized that i wasnt getting any washer fluid to come out when i pushed the button. I dont think the sprayers are cloged becasue they worked fine the week before. Is it possible that the motor is clogged or bad and how would i check it.

With the engine off and the key to RUN , do you hear the pump when pushing the button?
Are the air temps at or below freezing where you are ? If so the nozzels may be froze.Press the heel of your hand over them for a minuite or two to thaw them.
If the pump runs try holding the button for 15-20 seconds.Then look under the truck for a drip.Maybe a busted hose.

then i put some water in it so i wouldnt run out
OK, joking aside, maybe you accidentally introduced a piece of something that clogged the line? If it was very low, maybe something was floating in there that got sucked into the line?

i usually do get it but i was almost out in the tank and didnt have any so i just put water in it. thats why i figured i needed to get it fixed soon before it gets below freezing is there a drain plug in the tank somewhere?

did your pump quit or your just not getting any fluid? i know a month ago mine stopped and the plastic 3-way that connected the hose from the tank to the outlets at the windshield was rotted and broken, just replaced it, but now they dont spray right, i thnk they might be clogged, but check that out

another thing you could try.....
it could also be dirt/etc inside the multifunction switch. you can take the end off it and spray some electronics cleaner in there. it solved my 'phantom wipers'
syndrome.
