Pull the pump out of the bottle, it's just a push fit. If the pump had been heard to run I would have suggested the classic problem of a blocked filter - it's part of the grommet you've just pulled the pump out of. As you can't hear anything, I'd suggest that the ump is fubar'd  :-/ but to prove it, try putting 12 volts across the terminals - doesn't matter which way round while testing. New pattern pumps aren't expensive on eBay. Single outlet for saloons & twin for estates  :y

A quick, cheap, easy fix.  :y
Any leaks underneath the bonnet, they can rust out causing reduced flow to one side.  :-/

The wires are for the nozzle heaters that come on with the heated rear screen.
