Default sorry if this sounds dum

this morn i went 2 use my escort and the window screen ws full of srap, so i pushed the button for the screen wash to cum out, nothing happend.
Ive found the fuse and theres nothing wrong with that, looked at the wires and cant see any thing wrong, but i put sum wd40 on them any ways and give them a little wipe. theres loads of water / screen wash in there.
I am thinking it cud b the pump that pumps the screen wash out, do these normly go or am i wastin my time gettin a new 1?

thanks for readin i hope it doesnt make me sound dum.

If fuse fine and wires ok, will be pump. What mark escort? ive had to replace many a washer pump on my mk4s. Can you hear it buzzing when you try to wash window? If not then will probably be your problem.

Halfords do the pumps as well, stock item hanging up normally also have the lights washer pumps as used on mondys etc, so worth a try first.
