Windshield Wiper Pump Out? 200 1990

Hope everyone is doing well. The eBay Volvo has been holding up great (knock on wood!). I've driven on several long trips and we're almost to 231,000 miles. The AC even works!

In any case, it seems that maybe the pump to my wiper fluid is not working anymore. I thought that the fluid tank was empty...but it's full. When I push the button to spray the fluid nothing happens in regards to the fluid (wipers are working well though). I haven't had the car long and don't remember if there was a loud pump/motor sound when I tried to get wiper fluid, but there is definitely not a sound now. The pump itself looks pretty old and rusty so it's definitely a possibility that it's done. So, I am wondering...

- what else I should look at before replacing the pump?
- where can I get a new pump at a good price?
- are pumps easy to replace?
- how much do they cost?
- any ideas/advice?

Thanks in advance for your information!

Best,

Julie M
