Default Headlight Washer Problems...

My headlight washers went out a few weeks ago. My dealer in the time he had said that the pump is getting power, the hoses are all intact, but coudn't find any more problems than that.
When I turn them on, I hear the relay engage, but no spray.
Rahter then go back to the dealer to pay up my wazoo until they find something, is there something I may be missing?
A filter that may be clogged?
Thanks,
Rob

Electrical issue. Might be the relay. No pop, no pump

The pop up action is from a relay that shoot power to the motor. That is all I know

Default I hate the headlight washers. How much does the whole thing weigh anyway?

Seriously does anyone know b/c I would seriously consider removing them when I have my bumper off. I hate them and never use them.
