When pressing the button to spray the fluid, the fluid does not spray, and the wipers do not come on. What could cause this? Can't even hear the motor try to work. Would this be a fuse? Prior to this problem, had a friend plug a cellphone car charger cord into the cigarette lighter and it blew a fuse. That fuse was replaced, but now we have this problem with the wipers.
Yes, the wipers work for normal operation, only when trying to use the washer fluid do they not work.
 
Your cigarette lighter shorting may have blown another fuse in your fuse block , or a relay to the wipers may have blown from an overload .Check both the inside fuse panel and the engine compartment master fuse and relay box .I am betting on an accessory fuse or a similar component.
 
do the wipers come on otherwise? if so it could be a problem with the multifunction switch(the one that controls the wipers, signals, high beams etc) or a relay for the wash mode
