Windshield sprayers reversed on Evo8 -- how to fix?

Long story short I recently bought the Eco 8 after it had been rebuilt after an accident.

Something I noticed today is the windshield sprayers are reversed. Maybe it happened during rebuild. Basically when you pull the stock towards you instead of the front sprayers going, the rear sprayer goes. Reverse for the rear sprayer--turning the knob down makes the front sprayers go.

Any idea where/how to fix this? It's a pain in the butt.

Thanks!

maybe the two plugs for the spray motors on the washer fluid tank in the trunk are reversed? if not, you've got some major issues

I'm really hoping it's the former--that it was just connected in reverse.

Anywhere in the service manual (or otherwise) I should be looking? Where are the spray plugs plugging into?

they're part of the body harness. the pumps are the same so i'm guessing (hoping) that's your issue. if not, you're looking at an expensive shop bill to get the wiring diagnosed
