Headlight washer jets on p38 not working

The wipers sweep as well as I would like, but no fluid will come out.
My windshield jets are fine, I have fluid, is their a seperate pump for
me to look for and test for those? for a while I think they used to
stay on because after I would use the windshield wipers when headlights
were on all my fluid would get used up and i think it's because they
just kept going, so maybe when it dried the bottle and kept trying to
run it fried my pump?

Thanks.

Separate pump. There are three pumps on the front of the washer tank,
front right of the vehicle behind the bumper. Just accessible by lying
on the road. I "think" all 3 pumps are the same, so you may be able to
swap the electrical connectors over to diagnose a failed pump.

I suspect you do know headlamp wash only works when headlights are on,
and then only every second time you pull the wash stalk?

I am aware of when they go on, I have researched the web and it looks
like all 3 are different pumps. They discuss different color
connectors as well. I will have to see if I can just swap the
connections. I hope because the aftermarket front pumps are only 15$
and the headlight pumps are at about 55.
