I didn't find anything on this forum, but have you:

a) Listen with the hood up while activating the washer? Hear a pump running at all?

b) If you DO hear pumping sound, but no fluid comes out, try a small pin or needle in the squirter hole, perhaps they are blocked by some debris?

c) Hold a finger over each squirter while activating the washer. This has sometimes helped me restore the pump's "prime" on other vehicles I've had.

d) I haven't looked, but is there a washer motor fuse listed in the owner's manual? If so, have you checked it?

e) Beyond that, I guess a trip to dealer is needed.

Luck!
