Probably not a fuse. My guess - clogged.

Default Has the fluid ever frozen or come close to it?

That can screw up the pop-up thingies, and it can also crack the nozzles resulting in more of a drool than a spray, though it sounds like yours is peeing. ;-)

Carefully pull the noozles up from the bumper and take a look at them. If they're cracked they'll need to be replaced as a unit. If it's just crud, you should be able to carefully pop out the little ball nozzles and clean them.

I replaced one of mine a few months ago, hardest part is getting the bumper off and back on again, changing out the nozzles is easy.

When my headlight washers didn't work, it was because the pump disintegrated
