Default Washer pump has failed

It appears that my washer pump has failed: nothing coming out, fuse good, full of fluid.

It appears to me that the pump can be replaced by removing the wheel well liner, disconnecting the reservoir, removing the reservoir and changing out the pump. Is this correct?

Any further info on this much appreciated. Also looking for a used pump, if anyone has one in good shape.

That is pretty much it.
You will have to remove the 2 screws by the fender liner by the battery to release the reservoir neck.
Remove the fender liner.
Undo the 10mm bolt holding the reservoir to the fender.
Disconnect power source to pump.
Remove reservoir.
Replace pump.

John, correction on the 10mm, it's a nut not a bolt. It just came back to me .
Regards.

John,did you make sure the nozzles are not clogged? I had that problem on all 3 cars. I had someone operate the washer/wipers while I listened to hear the motor. In order to clean out the nozzles, I just poked a small needle in the jets and it cleared them. You can also adjust the jets with the needle, but a straight pin is safer because it is less likely to break, just be careful.
