Anyone Know if Wiper fluid spray is covered under warranty?

Hey guys..
Just recently purchased a 05 RL.. with 35K miles..
Love the vehicle.. but noticed that the windshield wiper spray is not working..
Is there a fuse for the spray? if so where? and anyone know if that would be covered under the warranty?

I could not locate anyting about it in the manual..

Fuses to check include #15 (underhood) and either #7 or #21 under dash. Other causes stated are kinked or blocked hose or a clogged washer outlet. I would assume if the motor is bad, it would be covered under warranty. Disconnect the 2 pin connector at motor and check for voltage when someone activates the washer switch.

A couple of stupid suggestions (unless they work).

1. Is it cold where you are? Could be frozen.
2. Do you have washer fluid in the tank?

Other than that or clogs and kinks, no reason why it wouldn't be covered by warranty.

35K, you are covered under warranty. It is 50K/48 months, whichever comes first.

Actually, the 2005's warranty was extended via the Class Action lawsuit to 48months/52,500miles.

blow compressed air thru hoses, most likely build up of sediment in the nozzle.
