Neither my front or my back windshield washer sprayer work. I also hear no noise when I hit the trigger for either to work. Can both die at the same time? or is it one motor for both? I've only had the Cherokee for less than 2 weeks, it's a 97 sport.

 

Have you checked the fuse?

 

My father claims he did, but you think I should double check just to be sure?

 

Can't hurt. Just don't let him see you do it.

 

Did they both work when u got the jeep? Its possible that they burned up before you got it....they are like 15 bucks at the auto parts store and like 5 minutes to put them in...I just changed one this morning and yes there are two motors.

 

Not to be a weirdo, but i just went threw the owners manual.. I can't find out where the fuse is.. can someone explain to this newb being a rookie for the loss.

 

Can't find the fuses or can't find which fuse controls it?

 

which fuse controls it, the owners manual doesn't mention it on page 187

 

You may want to buy a repair manual from Chilton/Haynes. They can save you a lot of time & money. I don't low which one controls it on your model/year.

 

its a 97 cherokee sport, lol. But I agree that maybe my best option.

 

There are 2 sprayers...and...at least on my 2000, they are fed from separate fuses. I don't have the fuse diagram here, but you should be able to use the forum's search feature to find 'fuse diagram'. There's also some postings (one in the last day or two) with external links to XJ shop manuals that might help.

Both sprayers died on my JEEP at the "same time"...I don't use the rear sprayer very often, so it may have been 2-3 weeks apart.

Replacing the pumps was fairly simple...peel back the plastic baffle in the wheel well, and they are right there in front of you. Replacements are pretty cheap.

GOOD LUCK!

 

Thanks, I'm gonna look for that diagram just to be safe.

been pouring over this.

 

Not to be a post wh0re on my first thread...

But does anyone know how I can make it so my windshield wipers sit at their normal position? The passenger side one sits about 3 to 4 inches above where it's suppose to unless i push it down and then they both sit flat.
