windshield washer wont spray?

I go to spray my winshield and it randomly doesnt spray. My initial thought "must be out of fluid" I check and my fluid is more than half full. Any ideas how this randomly stopped working or what I could do to fix it? Has anyone had any of these problems?

Thanks guys, Nick

Happened to me once in my 8. Turns out that it was wax clogging up the holes.

Yeah, check for clogs...

You can pull apart the hoses under the hood and test them. If your nozzles are clogged, be gentle with some sewing needles in the exit holes and try and clean it out.

Can you hear the pump running when you hit it? Mine wouldn't spray and I could hear the pump running, tank full of juice, etc. Turned out mice had chewed through the washer line (It routes under the car and up to the hood).
Good luck!

Check for fluid leaking under the car if the pump motor works.

either the intake is clogged and the motor is burning up... or the exit is clogged and the motor is burning up... lol

Seriously... unplug sections and see if it shoots fluid out of that section... and eventually you will find the spot that is plugged.
