I can't hear the pump but it did push a little fluid out. Reservoir's full. I disconnected the elbow at the hood and no fluid comes out when I push the switch. Should I replace the pump, and do I have to pull the reservoir out to do so? Any tips on that? It looks cramped and awkward.
Test at the pump, there is voltage when you activate the switch(connectors removed from the pump),voltage at the connectors?the pump went south....no voltage?fuse blown!
the only solution acording to the manual is to replace the reservoir... not much to say about that, u do have the option to patch it...be careful with the product u use to glue that patch. take care

you should hear the washer pump working when someone pushes the button. if not you will have to check the pump connector for a bad connection, no power or ground. if this is good then the washer pump will have to be replaced. if you hear the pump running then there may be a blockage in the hose to the nozzle or the nozzle is plugged.
Disconnect the hose over on the passenger's side and make sure it's pushing fluid. If it's not then you'll have to change the pump (little access panel under passenger's fender). If so, then the nozzles may be plugged. With the hose disconnected still, blow air into the washer nozzel(s) and try them again.
try and fill up the washer bottle with water for test and use it. if you hear the pump work keep using it till you see where fluid is leaking out. my guess is a hose is broken and all the fluid is leaking out
the pump motor likely is bad. get a used washer fluid reservoir at a pick n pull yourself or at car-part.com. page with * is lowest cost.

Might be a blockage in the hose coming from the pump to the washer nozzles, or the nozzles themselves. Hose might be kinked as well. I'd try to trace and disconnect the hose at the pump, and at each connection to see if there is fluid running through them when the washer is activated. Certain types of washer fluid will evaporate and leave deposits that could potentially clog the system. Could get a little messy, but washer fluid is harmless unless you get it in your eyes. Maybe start with that, cause I can't see an '02 model vehicle having a bad washer pump. Then again anything's possible, but if you can hear the pump running, that's where I'd start. I hope this helps
