Anyone else have this issue? I am several states away from home to not convenient to stop in to dealership. The fluid was almost gone but not dispensing and no low indicator either. Filled it to the brim and still a no go. Not leaking under the vehicle at all and level is staying consistent in the fill tank. Any suggestions?

It's a little silly, but the almost gone/now staying consistent kind of plays into it --- on our Bronco, the reservoir unseated from the wall. I know you said it's not leaking now, but if you're level, it might not be spilling out. It pops back in really easy, but that also means it might pop out easy for others. Starting here versus a kink in the hose, etc., because this is just my direct experience. Probably not it but something to check.

Did it work before or is this the first time you are trying it? maybe a silly question.
Could it be frozen?
check to see if when you are spraying it it is not pouring fluid out somewhere else like the hose came off from a fitting.

Fuse is good, yes it has worked for all 17k miles so far and just now not working. Not frozen, I am in Tennessee currently and its 60. Will check that it is seated but so far no spillage signs anywhere even with several drives. I am thinking the pump could be toast. I hear it click but not the typical sounds.

Update.................was indeed the windshield washer pump. Took 1 hour for the Ford Dealership to access it as it's built into the panels but all done and working just fine now......fingers crossed.
