I ran out of washer fluid in my 2012 vw jetta and when I refilled it it's like the switch doesn't work now. When I pull on the stalk it does nothing.

The washer fluid also cools and lubricate the washer fluid pump.
You might have 2 problems, either the washer fluid pump got burned because there was no washer fluid during operation attempts, or it caught air in the line.

SOURCE: wipers working when you pull on stalk to wash

while someone is pulling the stalk, use a meter or test light to check for voltage at the washer pump, located on the bottom of the washer fluid reservoir. if there is voltage, the pump is bad. if no voltage, it may be a fuse, bad switch or a break in the wiring.

Testimonial: "Don't have a meter but will find someone who does. Thank you"

Potential foundations for light issues in 2012 VW Jetta TDI: really look at wires, assess bulbs, wiring issues, flawed light/dimmer switches, control module, or battery. Counsel a repairman for precise finding and fixes.

VW Jetta fan, wipers, headlights work until engine starts. Then they do not always function.

I would suspect you have a defective ignition starter switch, this is the main switch the the ignition key cylinder operates and it powers up the while electrical system,. It is under the steering column covers.

First you need to check the fuse, check if the washer pump is engaging, do it by putting the ignition of (do not start the engine) and get someone to hear near the washer bottle ( where you put the fluid) for any sound of a spinner coming on when you use the stalk to put on the screen wash, if there is no sound, locate the pipe coming to the nozzle and see if the fluid comes when you use the stalk, if nothing than your washer pump is gone.
