I have a 98 explorer. The front washer fluid started to randomly quit working and now it doesn't work at all however the back washer fluid still works. Any suggestion would be appreciated.... Its snowing and hard to see!

Do you have a refill plug above the left taillight? I can't remember when they changed. The early gen 2 did, the later gen 2 shared the front tank/pump and ran a hose to the back...
The fuse is #12 on the side of the dash. I replaced one last night on the way home.
If it's a front tank, check the hoses underneath the tank...

Hit the front washer switch with a bit of authority .. the Multifunction switch may be the issue. It can be taken apart and rebuilt, I've done it on a few cars.
Probably the relays, one operates the front wash, the other is for the rear. They are located under the coolant bottle under the hood. The same motor operates both front and rear washers. It spins in 2 directions to direct the fluid where it needs to go. I had the same issue with my 98. I bought 2 new relays and everything works perfect now. You can try to swap the two relays to see if the problem follows the relays (it probably will) to verify the issue.
