Windscreen Washers Inactive

Hi guys and gals, i was driving home today and noticed my fluid level was low so when i got home i filled up, i then went to test the windscreen wipers and nothing!! the wipers work as does the rear all jets are clear and the motor is active as it is whiring!

As i have xenons they self clean when the lights are on and you pull the bezzle to activate the windscreen wipers, is this the same motor or does it have seperate motor.

Question is do i spend ages taking the panel off to check the motor or do i just take it to mini, its a 06 mcs so well within it warranty period or does it sound like a fixable fault.

Any info will be gratefully recieved!

Watsey

Apparently they do block really easily/quickly. My front ones were working fine but not my rear one few weeks back. Then my alarm started going off for no reason and my windows going up and down. Tried everything and then took it back to dealers as it was still under warranty. The water from the rear washer bottle had got into my body module. £322! Thankfully I didnt have to pay I'd check the jets first to see if theyre blocked, then take it back
