Just did and fixed. Check fuse #37 and if it's blown, replace with a 30 fuse instead of the 20 that's in it.

Can you hear the pump running or get someone to stand over the engine bay with the hood open and listen? I'm assuming it has fluid?

I'm not too sure about this but do the headlight washers work? Does anyone know if they use a different pump?

At first, I thought I was out of fluid because my wipers still worked when I used the washer function, but the headlight washers wouldn't even pop up. The fuses for the wipers and the heated washer jets were still fine but I read here somewhere to check fuse #37 and to replace it with a larger one. After doingthat, it works fine. If the fuse isn't blown, you may have a bad pump.

...or for some reason the hoses that feed the sprayers may be decayed or disconnected. Check out the hoses that run from the pump to the sprayers and make sure they're not leaking. Or maybe a check valve in the system is stuck and preventing fluid flow to the sprayers.

make sure the resivoir is filled, and headlights are on to make them work.

If the lights aren't on, they won't spray.
If the fluid is low, only the windshield nozzles spray.

FYI
