The screen wash ran dry, I refilled it, but no water was pumped through?

The pump seems to work from the sound it makes but no water pumps through the water jets (front or rear). I have flushed the system and water goes through the pipes and jets. I have also fitted a new electric screen washer pump but still no water through the jets. How do I get the washer working again?

THANKS I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER. SCUM FORMS IN THE GROMMET FROM THE WASH SOAP LIQUID AND IT BLOCKS THE GROMMET. I HAVE WASHED IT AND IT NOW WORKS FINE. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS.
REGARDS, ROBERT.

Could also be an air lock in the tubes. Undo all the tube connectors and pump thru' section by section joining them up as you go.

Have you reversed the two tubes that exit the pump?
