Default Rear washer wont work

My 1999 Cherokee washer fluid will not work for the rear glass. Is it the pump or something because the pump works in the front. Also the rear wiper works and so does the wiper motor.

On my 2000 there is 2 pumps on the washer fluid bottle in the drivers side fender, the rear pump is the one on top.

Mine just quit the other day...or so I thought.Turned out the little rubber hose just popped off where it comes out of the body and connects to the wiper arm,so when I pushed the button,it was just spraying out behind me

People in cars following me musta thought it was raining

Is there separate fuses for the rear/front washer motors? I have the same exact issue. Rear wiper works just fine, all hoses in the back are hooked up, and the front washer and wipers work just fine, but no blue juice in the back.

To access the wiper motors up front, do I have to take the fender off, or is there some sort of access point?

You can just remove the inner fenderwell on the left side. You should be able to hear the motor running if you listen for it.

Just happened to me yesterday. I just kept tapping on the switch panel and pressing the switch. It worked eventually. I'm assuming its a bad/dirty switch.
