Answer
Answer:
Look for a leaking/broken washer hose first, replace as needed and test the system.
The washer pump is attached to the fluid tank with a grommet, if the grommet leaks it will drain your tank in a few minutes.
Check your fuses, if they are good there is a 90% chance the pump has failed.
NOTE: Always install a NEW washer pump grommet in the fluid tank if the pump is removed.


There are pictures of windshield washer tanks with the pumps attached in the following thread, post #4, #6, #29 and #30, one of these should be what is on your car.
Total DIY repair once you have the part is fifteen minutes or less.
