Washer fluid not spraying
Searched and found nothing other than people asking for opinions on various brands of washer fluid....
My issue is that neither the headlamp washers or windshield washer nozzles are spraying ANY water when I try to use them. They were both working fine not too long ago, so I don't think it's clogged nozzles. Yes, I've checked and there is plenty of washer fluid. I don't see leaks of any kind when I try to wash the windshield. The only thing that happens is the wipers activate over the dry windshield. I haven't removed the front bumper recently, so I don't think I could have screwed anything up in that area. I did remove the rear bumper for a diffuser install and I removed the rear view mirror in order to hardwire my radar detector. Not sure how either of those installs could have affected anything but figured I'd mention it. I'm thinking possibly a fuse??? Any other ideas?

The hose junction is just behind the drivers side fog light. How long has it been since you installed the LED fog lights? Although if that was disconnected you would probably see a leak. Maybe the plug for the pump was disrupted durning the headlight or fog install and has lost it's connection.
I always start with context clues like work that has been done in that area of the car with things like this. Washer pumps rarely fail on there own, especially in a car this young.
I would stand next to the fender and have someone hit the washer button to see if you here the pump run.

Did you ever get it fixed?
I have this issue now. Neither windshield nor headlamp washers work. I checked the fuses in compartment B and they were fine. I cannot hear the pump. How did you get it fixed? I think I will attempt to change the pump if no one answers although I think from reading they have separate pumps

I had a similar issue this week. The fuse was good and the pump was silent when turned on. I replaced my washer fluid pump this week. Very easy DIY replacement. Turn the wheel full lock left. Losen up the fasteners and clips on the fender splash shield/liner and you'll have access to the washer fluid tank. The pump on the lower left hand side of the tank. The new pump is about $50-$60 from any Lexus/Toyota dealership and simply pulls out. Remove the electrical connector and washer fluid tube. Reverse the order to put it back together.
