I think you just answered you own question. Take the fender off.

Also check the lines see if they are clocked. Does it sound like its working when you hit the switch. Maybe you blew a fuse.

The fill cap is next to the battery. Check the wiring (2pin plug), fuse.

^^ True. I've gotten some wax in the spray nozzles and clogged it once.

When I first got my car my passenger side one didn't work and it was some wax or something clogging the nozzle. Just take out your nozzles and blow air through them or use some sort of parts cleaner.

First step - When you try to use the washer nozzles, do you hear the motor working. If no, its your motor, fuse, or some wiring issue. If yes, then see next step.

Second - If you hear the motor working, first check to see if the nozzles are clogged. This is usually the culprit. If it still does not work, you may have a pinched line. It is located inside the fender but is accessible if you remove the fender liner.

My washer tank still has the OE fluid in it from the factory. I don't use them on my 04.

my guess is your line is pinched somewhere. if you find the line is not pinched, then something may be wrong with the motor.
