Im pretty sure there are relays for it, but dont know where, so thats no help i guess! But i know the wiper stalk itself is prone to getting buggered! Did u have any issues before it completely stopped working..

Have you checked out the pump? They do fail. You need a multi-meter or a lamp connected to two lengths of wire connected to the pump terminals while the washers are being operated.

http://images.omegaowners.com/documents/UserGuides/OmegaOct2002.pdf page 184 the washer pump is the same as the screen wipers, so if your wipers still work it'll be the pump.

pull the pipes off which connect onto the jets and try pump  to check for blockages

Check the gauze under the pump. There is a guide.

I'm guessing you use neat water, with no screenwash, in which case, expect the gauze to be full of something nasty.  If you have headlight washers, they may be blocked as well.
