Should be a chart on the inside of the box lid identifying which fuse. I did a quick google search, sounds like if you are having washer problems that might be pretty common. I’d recommend doing a search yourself and reading some of the posts.

I want to check the fuse before I go too far down the rabbit hole

I’d think the washer motor would have its own fuse.

some of the info isn't very specific but that might be a start

here is a Dodge forum I have used before - https://www.ramforum.com/


briefly searching, I found this -

I had same problem, when I pushed the spray button, got a short spurt then dribble. I could hear the pump but sounded louder than normal so assumed it was the pump. Looked up video that showed removing shield on top of radiator, then grill. WRONG!!! Still could not get to tank and pump. Mine is a 2016 Ram 1500, and had to remove from bottom. Long story short, I replaced the pump and still did not work. New pump had a replacement bushing seat that fits into tank, so went to remove old one and pulled out a clogged strainer instead! Strainer had green slime all around the outside, and the tank immediately started to empty once the strainer was removed. That should have been a clue earlier, but didn’t pick up on it. Cleaned strainer, flushed tank while strainer was out, installed strainer, works like new. I did spend $30 on a pump that I didn’t need, but still cheaper than going to a mechanic. Moral to the story is this: You don’t even have to disconnect anything on the pump, just push it out of the tank. If the tank does not immediately dump the contents, check the strainer.

I had somebody listen under the hood and they can’t hear the motor. That’s why I’m thinking electrical.
