If the pump works, something should be flowing thru the hose to the spray nozzles.
And if the pump works, everything electrical is working.
How do you know the pump works ?
Having windshield wiper/washer problems? Here are some more common problems.
The wiper motor is commonly replaced and was often not the problem. Don't replace the motor yet. maybe it's not the motor. It could be a fuse or something at the wiper switch. The wiper motor has two windings, fast and slow. The wiper switch sends a ground signal to each motor winding. More often, there are problems with the relay, or at the wiper switch, or in the cable to the motor.
Don't be too quick to replace the washer pump. The problem is often just a clog in the sprayer heads. You can clean out the sprayer holes with a needle, some have two holes, so look closely. Hope this helps.
ALL these wiper washers inop, EVERYONE check to see if the NOZZLES are plugged up with wiper solvent residue.

If the fuses are OK, then two choice to check there:
* Faulty Wiper Motor.
Check if activated switch, you have voltage in the wires wiper motor; if have voltage, then the motor is bad. If dont have voltage, then switch is bad.
* Faulty Wiper Switch.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any
function of the switch is faulty, or if the switch is damaged, the
entire switch unit must be replaced.
Hope helps; keep us updated.
could be the washer motor. have someone hit the switch while you listen at the pump to see if it is making noise. also check to see if you have voltage at pump. it could be stuck or corroded.

If the Fuses are good and the Rear Works the Cause will be the Wiper Motor for the Windshield Wipers. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

The problem is likely your FCM which is a module that is attached to the
front of your fuse box . Go here for more info http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/dodge-grand-caravan/TFGKS9O3LLH1ABOBM

remove wiper arms and then you can raise the hood to remove screws that hold down the vent panel.
now carefully remove vent panel.
