Problem: Front wiper pump doesn't work.
The rear pump works as expected.

What I've done so far: Checked the fuses/relays. I swapped relays under the hood for the front/rear wipers with no change.

When I press in the washer button on the multifunction switch, sometimes the wipers turn on, sometimes they don't. Is this a sign that the switch needs replacing and the cause of the issue, or is it unrelated?

I don't think the pump is bad, because the rear wipers spray just fine.
 






Could be the switch, but not likley. Its probly the front pump, the front and rear each have there own pump. its easy to replace and not to expensive, I just replaced mine not to long ago.
