Default Window Washer

My 2002 window washer decided to stop spraying in the middle of winter
Is the pump dead? Is this a DIY to replace the pump? Thanks

I doubt the pump died, I betcha the fluid froze. You cant do a 50/50 mix between fluid and water in the winter. Park it in a garage overnight and let it warm up, it should come back. We've had some freakin cold weather this week huh?

I did park it indoors and it has been freaking cold. Dont think thats the problem though as the front washer usually makes a humming noise and it is silent. The rear washer makes the humming noise but nothing comes out.... Very weird.
