Windshield washer dead
I haven't used this since last winter but today I tried to clean off a bug and no washer fluid came out just the wipers. The headlight washer works fine. Checked fuse F10 and it's ok. Any other posibilities?

Don't call me stupid, but did you check whether there is any (sufficient amount of - because the headlight washers do function) washer fluid in the reservoir?
Additionally, you may want to check whether the jets on the hood are clogged.

I haven't used my washer fluid in almost a year and it's still full to the top. Thanks for asking.

Ok, somehow I have a bad washer pump number 100 on this diagram. Part# 2108690921 and can be substituted with part# 2108690821. This is my own diagnosis. I'll drop it off next week for replacement under warranty so I'm not sure how much that little pump will cost.
