Windershield Wipers.. Non existant?

From the moment I bought my Max over two years ago, I've never had my windshield wiper 'squirters' or whatever you want to call them.. Projectors.. Anyways, they've never worked. I noticed this about two months ago, when I saw I had two spots for windshield wiper fluid to come out, and a windshield wiper fluid resevoir, but.. It's never come out. I checked the fuses, and that isn't it so.. Any suggestions?

when you try to activate the nozzles, do you hear an electric motor "vrrrrrrrrrr" noise?

maybe there's a pinch/clog in one of the hoses

my guess is that the holes in the sprayers are clogged due to dirt or car wax.

I already checked for noise, and all I hear is the actual motor running that runs the actual windshield wiper blades, since as you know the switch that toggles the fluid also toggles that twice-over from the wiper blades. Checked the holes and they're fine also. I was thinking of more along the lines of a pinch in the hose, but it's hard for me to follow it into the chassis. When she gets on the lift next week I'll see if I can't get a better view.

The hose runs under the fender liner so you won't be able to check it unless you remove the fender liner.I would check that the resoirvoir pump is getting power. It's most likely not. The wires leading to the pump get corroded and break off.
