Windshield washer SQUARE ONE V70-XC70

2007 V70 base
Mine is not pumping or making no noise.
I cannot find the fuse for the washer. Where is the fuse?
I've checked both fuse panels (dashboard + underhood).
Thanks

All I could find was under the dash:
34. Washer pump - headlight wipers (V70 R) 15amp

Keeping it running is better than buying new

I saw one with such a label too. Thanks.

What's funny is when you replace the side dash panel on the fuse panel and all the spare fuses fall out.

OK, 2 months later and I have results but no "answer".

While doing an oil change I noticed one of the pumps had popped out of the reservoir's bottom.
The pump has a fairly large barb fitting to go into the reservoir. The bushing it goes into doubles as a screen. All I did was shove it in. It resumed working.

It's odd that I didn't hear a thing before (when nothing worked) and now I do as both front and rear squirt merrily away.

By the way, where is that "third", covered fuse box?

A fuse box in the engine bay, one on the left side of the dash, one in the rear of the car.

It is hard to believe that the pump fell out and the washer fluid did not drain. I would have imagined that the fluid drained, the level sensor sensed the empty tank, and the pump turned off. But, if that happens, then a message should have been posted on the dash...

I suppose my brain is going faster than I thought.

1) The bushing the washer fluid pump goes into is also a screen. It was plugged up. This explains why I never saw fluid draining out those times I added. It must've crept out slowly. I did get a washer fluid level warning but by then I was well into the time frame of "non-working washers" so I ignored it figuring that I'd someday remove the front bumper and fully address the job.

2) Thanks for the fuse box locations. Again, not the first time I've been thrown off by other's descriptions.
I knew about the 3 you mentioned, Klaus. Someone must've been referring to the CEM under the dash (I got entranced reading 'add a fan' videos) and called it a "fuse box" because it's electric.
