Just like the title says. My windshield washer fluid does not work, Wipers work, headlight washers work. Any ideas?

The pump is located on the tank and is an easy DIY. Odds are it's burned out, a hose disconnected or simply clogged.

Used a vacuum on tube near jet, fluid flowed easily. Left tube unhooked and ran washers; no fluid came out. Pump seems to be culprit.

My washer fluid pump died a while back... It was a very easy DIY. All you have to do is remove the front passenger wheel and remove the fender liner to access the fluid reservoir.

Here is the part number: 67126934159. I didn't buy OEM and it works fine, although I don't use the wash fluid that much anyway (we already know the OEM one craps out eventually as well).

Just replaced mine due to bad leak. I bought it on eBay for around $13 and all is good now. Don't forget to buy a new grommet and strainer just in case.

Thanks! The pump I bought came with grommet, but no strainer. Can old strainer be cleaned and reused?

Yes.

Replaced pump and grommet with $11 set from amazon. I refused filter. All is well! Thanks for the help!

Had a no water coming though my washer system, so removed drivers side wheel (UK) then undid all the clips, nuts etc, removed tank, then cleaned it all out, reassembled, new water and wipers and can see where I am going again! Took about 2 hours.
