Windshield washer spray inop

Wanted to say hi first. Just got a 2007 ram 3500 megacab. Its an awesome truck. I bought it from GA and drove it MD.
When I looked underneath i saw the front pinion seal was leaking. Thanks to the forums here I was able to replace it. Now the windshield washer spray doesnt work. I can hear the spray motor turn on and the resevoir is full which leads me to believe that there is a line clogged somewhere?
Any help would be great. Trying to get this done so I can get the truck inspected.

Since it came from Georgia, maybe its frozen? If you have a warm place for it to sit for a few hours might be able to correct it. Or, you could unplug at the sprayer end and hit it with a small amount of compressed air.

I thought washer fluid doesnt freeze. I will give it a shot in the morning. Thanks. Another question is the wait to start light never comes on. All I see is the red light that has a lightning bolt symbol. Never seen the coil symbol yet. Weather has been 20 at night.

Nvm about the red lightning symbol. That has nothing to do with the wait to start light.
Any suggestions on why it doesnt light up on a 20 degree night?

if not the grid heater is not cycling and may have been removed

Well I found it it does come on after sitting all night. When i first start up the truck the voltage reads around
8volts. after around 10 seconds or so the batteries start charging.
Thanks for all the help.
