Help! washer pump not working

My windsheild washers are not working , just replaced my wiper motors and now the pump is not activating at all . I checked with the hood up and can not hear them working. Do I need to replace the pumps? i understand they are hard to get at. 02 cooper. Thanx in advance any help appreciated. O is it possible they are frozen as I live in Canada and it's bloody cold eh.

Hi Kevin, I had the same problem. The temperature was -5 C the pump frozen but I can hear the pump. Thus wait until the temperature come up. Also check the electric wires it might be from the wires.

pump works!

Just washed my mini and lo and behold I tried the washers, they work! We are experiencing warmer temps 3,4 degrees above zero so I guess the pump thawed itself. Merry Christmas!
