It may not have one, you could try checking if you have a live at the pump on the washer bottle when you press the button, the little pumps don't last long and are quite often difficult to get too

Sounds like it could be a warranty job then? Does it cover such things? The car is new to me but I'm the second owner. Still has 4 years warranty left.

 

It's always worth asking hooplephile

I'd say this is definitely a warranty issue, mate! Have a word with your local Kia dealer.

 

Have you found the fuse box panel visible as you open the driver door?
May be something in there.

Trouble is there is absolutely no reference to a fuse for the washer pump anywhere in the handbook. Checked the 2 fuseboxes in the engine compartment but definitely nothing in there. Will double check the interior panel but I would have thought the manual would refer to it if it existed?

 

Update on situation.

Definitely no fuse for the pump.

I do have power and washer fluid when the rear washer is depressed but no fluid and no sound of the pump working for the front washers. I've disconnected part of the pipe just to check if fluid is getting through, but nothing. So, unless there are two pumps I reckon it could just be as simple a lose connector. Before the hassle of taking into a garage where are the connectors and are they easy to get to?
