Front windshield washer not working

[allamericanrejects]

My 2018 Buick Enclave's front windshield washer isnt working. The fuse is good and the lines are clear. When I press the button, i hear a click from the solenoid inside, but the pump under the hood doesn't turn on. The rear washer works fine, the same solenoid clicks, the pump runs and fluid sprays. So the switch seems to work, but the front pump doesnt respond. Any ideas?

It used to be simpler but your Enclave should have 1 pump that handles both the front and rear jobs. If it runs for the rear, the motor itself is good, which is a bit of good news. I have seen many multifunction switches on the steering column go bad in just that way.

Yeah no issues with the rear washer, its all good. So, do you think its time to visit the dealer or someone else here might have some answes?

Did you end up taking it in or still troubleshooting at home? If the rear washer works and the pump runs, the issue might be with the front nozzle or a blocked line near the splitter. Some have had luck pulling the hose off the front nozzle and checking for flow directly. If nothing comes out, it could be a clog or a valve issue upstream.
