Windscreen Washer jets/motor broken?

Question

Hi guys, opinions please:

 

My windscreen washers jets wont work. when I try to activate them I can't hear the motor running at all. I'm trying to diagnose what is actually to blame so here's what I have come up with so far:

 

- Its not a blocking caused by freezing, it just isn't that cold yet!

-There are 2 motors on an MB6 washer bottle, one which does the headlights, and one which does the front and rear screen jets. Since the rear screen jet works (and I can hear the motor) when I use the switch, it cannot be a faulty motor. Am I correct that one motor does headlights, and another does front/rear screen, or are they split so that one does rear, and one does headlights/front screen?

-the fuse for all washers etc is the same, so as the rear works, it can't be a blown fuse.

 

It seems logical that the actual switch/control stalk is broken and not completing the circuit to activate the motor?

 

Can anyone else think of a potential cause? It was working fine until this week...
