Re: 1999 Durango Washer Fluid Switches Reversed
I'm not sure about yours, but mine has a separate pump for both front and rear. They are small white (I think) cylinders mounted on the passenger side of the radiator overflow tank, up at the top. They each have a black hose running to them. When I was on the road one time in bad weather, the front washer quit working and after thinking about it awhile I went under there and simply switched the hoses on the two cylinders. My front then operated with the rear button. When I got home I replaced the pump and all was good. Maybe in a previous repair of the cooling system or something like that someone has switched the rubber lines leading to the pump cylinders. That's easy enough to check, just keep in mind that while disconnected from the hoses and being switched the washer fluid is pouring out of the pumps and onto everything. If you have two people, one can hold their finger over one pump opening as you disconnect it while you do the other. It's worth a shot, and free! Good luck.

Reason: If used for what I used it for, after swithching the hose you do have to turn on the front wipers manually.
