Washers Reversed

[Greatwhite]

Yesterday I tried to wash the windshield by pulling on the lever. No fluid I originally thought, but I did notice spray coming from the front of vehicle. I though maybe there are headlight washers and the windshield washer nozzle are clogged.

On a whim I tried the trail cam washer an the windshield washers sprayed.

I tried several times and they are reversed. I don’t remember using the winshywashers but I know I tried the trail cam washer screen button before and it worked fine.

It’s a 2020 Rubicon with 2000 miles that I bought new a few months ago.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Straight to the dealer at 2k miles.

Try it again after the next restart. It appears to have worked normally at one time. Maybe it just needs a system reboot (disconnect both batteries for about ten minutes).

What was the outcome of this? Weird for a factory trailcam truck to do this.

They reversed the hoses I guess, but I know it wasn’t like that before.
It’s an AMW 392 so there is always the possibility of a computer glitch although I have not heard of that happening before.

I had no idea the trail cam had a washer. Does the rear camera have one as well?

No

No

But many of us WISH it did.

Do it! I know one guy did, he rigged something up. The washer pump is up for it, same one as the Wrangler which fires both washers at once. ( rear window and trailcam )

There's at least one write-up in these forums about a guy who did it. I keep thinking about doing it, never have. Especially nice in the winter when it gets covered with crud you can't see through after driving less than half a mile.
I'd want to rig it like my car was before I disabled the rear wiper to put louvers on it - a button specifically for the rear, dedicated pump, so it only washed the rear cam, nothing else.
