three things may be happening. Step 1, your washer pump has malfunctioned and is not pumping the fluid out of your reservior up to your windshield. Even if you can hear the pump motor run, it does not mean the accual pump inside is working. you can remove the wash reservior bottle by removing the 10mm hold down bolt, and pulling upwards on the bottle. you should beable to see the pump mounted on the front end of the bottle. you can remove the small tube coming out of the lower part of the pump easially. Once removed, activate the wash pump from inside the car to see if fluid is accually being pumped. If there is no fluid... replace the pump... if there is fluid, move on to step 2. If the pump motor does not run at all, move to step 3. Step 2. Follow the tube from the washer pump to the center of the firewall under the cowling to a plastic splitter. Remove the tube from the splitter and blow through it to make sure there is no blockage in the tube. if no blockage exists, reconnect the splitter and blow through it again. if you can pass air through the tube you are OK, if not, you may have a clogged nozzle. Step 3. Check your fuses, If all the fuses are good, the switch may be faulty in the multifunction control stick .

2000 Saturn windshield wiper fluid not coming out is there a fuse?

A couple things to check. If you don't hear the washer fluid motor running when you try to spray washer fluid, it may be a fuse or relay or bad washer fluid motor. If you do hear the washer fluid motor running while trying to spray the windshield, but aren't getting any fluid, then there is a blockage or kink in the line. If this is the case, you can unhook the hose at the sprayers underneath on the hood/cowl and blow back through the line to see. It should blow air right back into the washer reservoir. If not, then check the lines for blocks/kinks.
