Hey Shawn :)

	It works off of air pressure...either from your spare tire (which I was
always uneasy about) or just air pressure in the bottle.  First, check
your lines from the bottle to the nozzle at the windshield...just pull
the rubber hose off the tank and blow air through it...(washer lever
must be pulled when you do this, assuming the switch is good) if that's
all good, then put a little air in the bottle (if you use air from a
compressor...just push it on REAL quick...you can pop the bottle and/or
hoses easily with too much pressure) See if it holds pressure.  That
should get you started...the only other thing that it could be is the
switch itself.
