1. With a friend, check that there is power to the pump when you press wash.
2. If there is, and it still doesn't work, check that there is a good return path to earth.
3. If there is, a check the pump.

You can tell easily enough which it is. Get yourself a cheap digital voltmeter, disconnect the plug from the washer pump, stick the probes from the meter into the two terminals, set it to measure volts, and get someone to pull the washer stalk for you (or do it yourself with the meter display visible through the gap at the bottom of the bonnet).

If you see 12 volts coming into the plug when you pull the stalk, then you know it's the pump itself.
