Hello,

It could have frozen the washer fluid which is common. They make washer fluid that resists freezing which will help. Can you hear the motor running when you use thee switch?

Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job:

Yes, it was frozen. Thanks for your time. I took hot water and poured it on the lines.
