Front washers won't squirt

[Jim McClain]

My windshield washer isn't working on the front window. Works fine on the back window. Plenty of fluid. I can't even hear a pumping noise when I pull down on the lever - not sure I'm s'posed to.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem would be appreciated.

The washer motor turns in one direction to wash the front and turns in the opposite direction to wash the rear....a series of valves directs the water flow.

So you should hear the pump running whether you are operating the front or rear washers....get under the front-right of the Jeep while someone operates the lever to have a good listen!

Most likely the Multi-function switch is bad..this is the switch at the top of the steering with the stalks on the Left and the Right...replace with the correct one depending on if you have front fog lamps fitted or not.
