Default wash wipe not working

Hi
on my 2001 bugeye JDM, the front wash wipe isn't working. I have tried the only fuse I can find (no' 15 behind the coin tray) but I think that does the wipers and the wash system and the wipers still work. The motor is ok because I have tried that with 12v ?
So is there another fuse just for the washer motor, as I don't have a hand book ?

It may be the washer pumps given up. have you tried testing for a feed at the pump?

Er..... I'm guilty of that when I bought my first Impreza ('93 WRX).

So much so, I rang the delaer I bought it off.... Cue colossal red face a few seconds later.

All too easy a mistake to make.

I struggle when "borrowing" the wifes motor, indicator switch is on the other side (or is the impreza on the wrong side ), the number of times I've gone round a right-hander with the wipers flailing away is unreal!!
