Washer pump should make a noise. If you don't get the noise you may have a faulty pump or the control over it.

It may be easier to run 12v to the pump and listen for the sound, this cuts out the control system.

If the pump still doesn't run, change the pump (try this as a source).

If the pump runs, its a fuse (you checked them) or the control - you will need to diagnose with Lexia Clone tool.

If the pump makes its noise and no water is coming, perhaps the washer-sprayers are frozen (mine were already :roll: ). When the motor has run a bit so everything has warmed, the sprayers should work just fine again. If this is the case, please check the washing fluid, more antifreeze needed.
