Windshield Washer does not work

Wiper Wash does not work. I have checked fluid lines with blown
air in both directions. No clogs. I am thinking either a pump or electrical
switch. Any help with troubleshooting would be apprecitated.

just one quick thought, when you activate the switch/button do you hear anything like the the pump is trying to work or is it just silent? If it isn't making any sound the easiest and first thing I would check would be the fuse. If does make a noise the impellors for the pump might be shot.

I had already checked the fuse and it was ok.
There is no noise at all that I can hear.
Do you think it is the pump motor? and if so
where exactly is that and can it be trouble shot.

If you you turn down your radio and everything else inside, and it is quiet around where you are, you should be able to hear the motor. I thought I had the same problem with mine, but I stopped the truck and listened and it sounded normal so I knew the pump was working. What I came to realize was after I got my truck some water must have gotten into the lines during the prep work, because I didn't have to use them before, lol. They froze up on me, but since I have the fluid going through, everything is ok. Just make sure that you don't have water in with your fluid so it doesn't freeze, depending where you are at. Just my 2 cents.

The lines are not clogged, and there is no noise.

It sounds most likely that you may have a bad motor or a fuse is blown. Hopefully it is a fuse, because that is an easy fix, if not, I don't know what else to tell you. Good luck.
