Rear washer fluid works, front does not?

I want to start by saying I love Genvibe. I've gotten alot of great assistance here in the past; I hope I can get another
.I noticed this last week that my front washer fluid no longer works. The blades go but fluid does not come out. The back one, however, works. Do the front and rear lines use the same pump? Any thoughts?

welcome to genvibewhat year Vibe? I don't know about the 09/10 set up, but on the 03-08, front and rear have separate washer pumps, but both washer pumps get power from the same fuse (if the rear works and the front doesn't then its not a fuse problem)

the '03 manual says they are separate pumps. which would cover the old body style i'm sure. the front pump is located in the side of the plastic reservoir the rear is in the front of the reservoir. have someone push the lever while you listen at the pump for a humming noise.

it's a 2004. I'll try that. I was worried it was the pump or it was blocked. Thanks guys.
