Default Rear window sprayer not working

When I press the botton in my 99 Cherokee Classic to spray off the rear window nothing is coming out, why is that and or where is the pump for the rear window? The front window sprayer works fine just not the rear window sprayer.

the pump is located at the bottom of the washer bottle, tucked up inside the drivers fender.
you will have to pull the plastic splash guard away to access the bottle.
not sure which one is for the rear, but there are two of them in there.

grab them from the wreckers, should only cost you a couple bux.

i have a couple spares for your year, but shipping would be more than they're worth.

they are easy to change, just wait till you use up all your wash fluid, cause when you pull the pump out of the rubber grommet, you will empty the bottle.

nothing holds them in, just the rubber grommet.

If there's a way to take the hose off of the nozzel, remove it and see if fluid comes out of the hose when you press the rear washer button. If there's fluid that comes squirting out then the nozzel is clogged more than likely.

First try! When I fist got my 98 the rear fluid spray didn't work. I checked the fuse it was fine then checked the nozzle and found it clogged. So were the front but not completely plugged off. I was guessing that the po used straight water since it was plunged with calcium. I let the nozzles sit in some CLR and the worked fine.
