Window Washer Fluid Not Spraying

Washer fluid ran out and the pump ran dry (trying to squeeze every last drop out, very dirty window). I refilled the resevoir. When I try to spray fluid the pump just hums but no spray comes out. I realize the pump may be screwed. Can someone tell me where the pump is located? Is there anything else I should try before taking the pump apart? Thanks.

Check the wiper fluid line- it may just be crimped from the hood weatherstripping.

Also push a sewing needle into the washer nozzles to clear any debris that might have been brought up from the bottom of the washer tank.

There a couple of threads I remember from about a year ago regarding bad wiper motors; try a search for them if the line is intact and nozzles are clear.

If you use the windshield washer frequently, it's a good idea to refill it frequently before the reservoir gets completely empty.

You couldn't be more right! The stupid part is I knew that, but it still happened.
