Default Windshield washer pump not working

Hey folks. I have a 2000 bravada and I just had my main windshield washer pump stop working. I can't for the life of me find if it has a fuse or not to see if that'* the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe take it to a shop or have a mechanic friend come help you. If this diagram is greek to you I don't think I can teach you what you need to know on here.

Well I just wanted to know if there is a fuse that had blown that caused this or do I have to replace the pump itself? If there is a fuse, where would it be located? If I end up having to replace the pump, I can handle that just fine. Just need to know what options I have to consider.

From page 6-57 of your owner'* manual (my red mark) :




The manual says this is unused, but I've seen countless times where they say that then use it anyways. If you have a fuse here, it'd be a good bet. I brought you this option because it'* super easy.

If it were me, I'd check that fuse. If the fuse is good (or unused after all), I'd go through all fuses under there with a meter and see if any are blown. If none are blown then next step I'd put a meter or test light on the plug that powers the washer pump, then have a helper attempt to operate the pump. If the light/meter shows voltage when it is supposed to, then you likely need a new pump motor.

According to the diagram it'* the 25 amp labeled FRT WPR in the fuse box on left side of dash inside the cabin.

Ah, I took that to be the wipers only, not including the pump and missed it on the diagram. Here'* the map:
