You could disconnect it electrically at the pump. As far as the windshield washers , first remove the hose from under the hood where it connects to the nozzle & try & activate. if you get fluid the nozzles are clogged & can be cleared with tiny wire.
If you have no fluid you would have to check the pump motor. Unfortunately the pump motors are in the washer bottle & it is buried inside the left front inner fender well. You will have to remove wheel , inner fender to access.

One more thing i forget to mention is that you have two separate washer pumps. If you find the one for the windshield is bad , swap it for the one for the headlights.

No.
Real simple. If you have to get to the washer bottle , remove left front wheel (after jacking the car up first) , remove all bolts & screws that hold the inner fender & remove from vehicle. The washer bottle will be in the front of the wheel well.
