Default Washers not squirting (2006)

My washer fluid is full but it's not squirting out. The wiper blades move but there is no fluid. What could be wrong??

Do you hear the washer motor turning on?
Is there washer fluid in the reservoir?
Did you open the hood and take off the washer fluid hose off the squirt nozzle
And check for fluid flow?

The reservoir is full. I poked the holes with a pin and changed the fuse and now it's just barely squirting. I don't hear the washer motor turn on though. Would it still be barely squirting if the motor wasn't working?
I'm thinking of trying compressed air next through the little hoses??

I hope you get to read this before applying compressed air to the hoses.

Very low air pressure may open up the orifices.
Any more than low pressure will blow hoses off their connections and that can leave you with more problems than you need..
Pick a location that is easy for you to access and disconnect one of the washer hoses , then operate the washer switch and see if you have fluid there . If so , now you know to go further up the line to the nozzles that spray on the windshield. If no fluid there, work your way back to the washer pump motor itself.

Yes, saw this in time!
My friends dad says he has a compressor with the proper attachment to blow the line. He also wants to use soapy water on the outside of the hose to see if there are any leaks along the hose. I'm hoping this works!

Okay guys, thank you for your help thus far!
It seems the pump is working sporadically so I'm off to the pick n pull tomorrow. I will do some research about what other models have the same pump because unfortunately the place has no Tucson's right now. Any tips for what to do /not do? Or anyone know what other model will work? This is my first trip to the pick n pull.

Sometimes a cooperative Hyundai parts dept will tell you what models use the same pump motor as your vehicle. Only a phone call. Get the price while you have them, may not be that expensive.
