Remove the wipers by pressing out a clip at the base of their rotating spindle. Then you can remove the cover just in front of the windshield. Be careful because the lines for your fluid will be connected to it. You can access the motor just below that. The pump for the fluid is underneath the reservoir, either in your engine bay or between the fender well and fender above your driver's side front wheel. You might flush the lines out first to see if that helps.

This isn't an answer to your question just something that may help for mudding. Get a portable air tank, weld a water hookup on it with a shut off mount it, or fix it so it can be strapped in have a quick disconnect so you can hook up one of the spiral air hoses with a spray fitting on it to wash off the mud on the windshield between holes. Fill 2/3-3/4s full add enough air pressure to empty the tank and you are ready to go.
( I've seen them set up so they could be used on the go from the drivers seat with the push of a button. Just don't know how they were set-up. )
