Washer wiper not working, possibly used when

Fiesta Zetec 1.4 2006.
Washer wiper not working, possibly used when reservoir empty, is this fuse or motor, reservoir now full but rear and front washers still not working, advise appreciated.
Wipers still operate but water jets not functioning. Read manual and said not to operate when reservoir empty. Wife's car and she didn't realise not to operate. I hadn't topped up reservoir in time.
Tried to locate fuse but location not stated on the fuse box diagrams or in manual. If you can help would be great.

The fuse is the same as for the wipers and push on washer switch and see if you can hear washer pump run,otherwise try this (unless the motor pump has been dry run too long and ruined pump assy) and can't pump any longer go to a garage that has compressed air and at the wiper nozzles first gently blow air into each nozzle, then go to reservoir and remove supply hose to wiper nozzles and blow air gently and see if there's an obstruction in the line, you can use say 30 lbs max,reason being if any hoses where you cant get to them they can blow off fittings, also take air hose and on top of reservoir blow into hole on top of reservoir to push product thru lines and help pump (same as removing hose) on reservoir, I bet its unprimed itself or blocked with dirt,try this first

I have a 2007 Pontiac Torrent. The wiper fluid will not spray on the front or rear wipers. The reservoir is full. Is there one fuse that controls both?

It's probably the washer pump motor , but testing is the best thing to do . Fuse #45 front an rear washer pump , plus there is two relay's . Both are controlled by the BCM - body control module . The fuse is located in the under hood fuse box .

2010 Reg Ford Focus 5 door hatch rear screen wash not working. Front is OK. How do I fix it?

the washer fluid could be empty / the fuse for the wiper blew / the relay went bad /if you tried to use the wipers without clearing ice away you blew the fuse/ if you just put water in instead of washer fluid it's frozen/ if the wiper works and there is windshield fluid in the tank and not water and all fuses are good the pump motor for the fluid went and is easy to change

Rear Window washer ceased functioning, wiper works. Swapped relay with another one, no change. Reservoir is full. Front washer works fine.

Do you hear the pump running when you command the rear washer? If not, check fuse #7 and relay #38 in the rear fuse panel. If the pump is running, then you have either a blockage in the line going to the back or a break in the line.

Windshield washers not working

I wouldn't worry about tracing the hose just yet, most likely it's a bad pump. Find the wire(s) going to the pump, usually on the bottom of the reservoir and connect a test light to a good ground. Then have someone try to 'squirt' the washer fluid while you touch the test light 'probe' to the pump's wire connector. If it lights but no fluid squirts, it's bad. They are cheap and usually very easy to replace. If it doesn't light there's a brake in the circuit somewhere. (bad fuse, bad connector, etc.) Good luck.
