1997 Jeep Cherokee -- Do the front windshield wipers/washer fluid have a fuse? It isn't listed in my owners guide in either of the fuse box locations. They stopped working.
Re: 1997 Jeep Cherokee -- Do the front windshield...
Wipers and washers usually have a fuse,
i may be mixed with another fuse.
the best thing to do is check each fuse in turn and see if one is blown or has
corroded connections.

Unplug (if you can) the wiper motor, start the car and turn on the wipers.
Check the plug with an electric meter.
If you have current, it is likely the motor has failed.
Many car parts will begin to fail within 10 years of the delivery of a new car, particularly cars that are called "American".
God bless your efforts.
Check to be sure there is washer fluid in the washer fluid reservoir. The owners manual should have a "map" that tells you location, amperage , and system(s) covered by listed fuses. Lacking an owners manual, the inside of the fuse box access panel will also have this information. Suggest you get a Chiltons/Haynes repair manual that covers your vehicle. There are other reasons for washer not to work. And newer vehicles have 2 fuse panels. With redundant systems.
It will be the same one as the wipers. The fuse must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. To ease your search the wiper fuse it should be around 20 amps.
your rear wiper motor might be faulty,in the front i would check your fluid level-if it is full and you hear the pump running-check your washer lines to see if they are pinched-usually around where the hood closes
if your wipers work it is not a fuse, if you cannot hear the pump humming when you push the wash button you will need to replace it,they are around $20.00 at Autozone
usually it's in the washer bottle which is usually in the fender well, ahrd to get to.
The fuse that controls it should be listed in your owners manual. Usually a 10 amp fuse in the fuse panel inside the car usually on the instrument panel somewhere.
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.
the same reservoir is used for both ...it uses separate pump motors.....if the wipers are working the fuse for the washer pump is good...check the power and ground for the pump...
