The windscreen washer on my car has stopped working?

I have a Ford Fiesta with no working windscreen washer. There is no sound of the motor working. How easy is it to fix and how much should I be paying?

First off you need to check the wiper motor that has actually failed. You need to check the relevant fuse which should be fuse number 5 (20amp) in the passenger compartment fuse box. If the fuse is okay then check the wiring connections. If you do need to replace the actual motor the cost would be around £200 to £250 depending on your choice of garage.
