Windshield Washer Fluid Pump Inop - Troubleshooting

2009 Ford Escape XLT - Troubleshooting the windshield washer pumps. Just recently both pumps became inop. Yes, there is washer fluid in the tank. Short of tearing into the front right wheel well to replace the pumps, trying to figure out if there might be something else that might've caused both to go out at the same time. I can't find a specific fuse for the pumps, but there's nothing else currently not working. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the site.

Where are you and the car, and when you try to move fluid, do you even hear the pumps or is it completely silent?

If it's silent... it could be a fuse.

Currently live near Baltimore, Maryland. I thought initially it was a frozen line, so I pulled it in the garage and let it warm up...still nothing. I don't hear anything when I hit the switch. I've thought about checking the fuse but I can't find anything definitive on which fuse it is. I've read information that the washer fluid pump is tied in with the wiper system fuse, but all the wipers work.
