I have a 08 Wrangler Unlimited. The windsheild wipers work but the switch to dispense the wiper fluid and mist the wipers, does not work. When I pull the switch, nothing happens. I can still turn on the wipers and can even spray fluid on the rear window. With the sysmptom, I feel i have eliminated a clog in the fluid delivers (because the wipers don't turn on), a pump issue (because it sprays the back window) and a wiper issue (as the wipers are fully functional when I turn the knob).
Faulty switch. I would replace that first thing.
Thanks. That's what I thought. Are these easy to change or should they be done by a dealer?

Sprayers are clogged up. You can clean out the sprayers with a needle, some have two holes so look carefully.

I had a similar problem with my 2000 Jeep TJ and I found the problem in the wiring harness under the hood.several wires were corroded and almost burnt off.If you remove the black tape which keeps the harness bundled together and if you see evidence of "green" type powder or "gook" it's most likely where the wires have faulted.

the little pump inside the washer fluid reservoir is bad, replace it

You have a motor for the front and rear washer. Check the fuses. If the intermitted wipers does not work, there is a relay under the dash near the steering colum that needs to be replaced.
