Default Windshield washer tank removal

2010 F150 trying to remove the windshield washer tank. Washers don't work. When I hit the button on the end of the wiper arm, I can hear the pump going but I get no fluid. I was able to get the inner fender loose enough to pull the tubing off the end of the pump, and when I hit the washer button I get no fluid spraying out. I believe it's a clogged pump. How do I get the reservoir out so I can clean out the dirt. I've got the battery out and have some of the inner fender loosened..

Try taking out the head light it might give you more room. If I am not mistaken the pump is facing towards the headlight but don't hold me to that.

Removed the THREE screws holding the headlight on and the washer pump was right there. Pulled the pump out and then cleaned the rubber screen between the pump and the washer tank....put it back together and washer works again. Added 3 photos to my album showing the headlight out...and the pump in the end of the tank
Thanks

thanks everyone who posted. Took 2014 f150 apart and found a gooey sludge had grown in tank and blocked screen. Flushed it out works fine now.

Thanks for all of the posts! Somehow I had a mouse clogging mine.

Somehow got into my windshield washer tank and clogged it.
