Can you hear the (washer) motor run? Have someone hit the squirters with the key on and out your ear to the filler tube to see if you can hear the pump running. If yes, common for the impeller to spin off the shaft of the motor. I have found that the replacements at the auto stores work rather well. Something of a pain to remove the tank though!

The washer pump fuse is fuse#6 in the Integrated Power Module at the left front of the engine compartment. It is a 30 Amp fuse. It is the same fuse that runs your windshield wipers.
If your wipers work, the fuse is not blown.
