Back-up camera washer comes on which models?

[2nd 392]

Okay, which models/years/packages have front camera washers then?

From threads like this, I'm confident they exist: Thread 'Rear camera washer' https://wljeepforum.com/index.php?threads/rear-camera-washer.738/

Do a parts search for the nozzle, hose, etc. To be functional would require a direct squirt.
A direct squirt would require a nozzle at the camera stalk and hose at the gate hinges, thru the gate, carrier, and stalk. Difficult at best.
Has a single aftermarket spare carrier, or even camera extension mfg addressed this ?
If it exists would they not have done so ?
Has anyone ever reported a single problem or issue of any kind with the rear camera washer ? Could this be possible if they exist ?!
I am confident they do not exist due to the lack of the last two.

The Forward Camera which would include the washer as part of it is part of the Technology Package on the Sahara and Rubicon. Standard on the Rubicon X, & 392.

That link you posted is to the WL forum. WLs (WL74 and WL75) are the current model Grand Cherokee. Yes, those have a rear camera washer on it. Not sure if it's standard or option/trim level specific. I know our 2024 Grand Cherokee 2-row with the Lux/Tech II package has it. It sprays the camera when you use the rear window washer. The forward camera on our WL74 has a sprayer too.

Thank you Bryce, for a helpful answer to the question I had.

To update my post.. looks like it's an option on the Grand Cherokee. It's part of the Lux/Tech II package on our '24 GC Limited.

I agree that it's extremely weird to have a button with text stating "Clean camera and rear glass" that when you push it the front camera (and only the front camera) gets cleaned.

I have a 2022 392 and mine has it.

You're right, that is the front camera view getting washed in the video, while it oddly says "Clean camera and rear glass". I've read other threads that mention the rear camera washer being synchronous with the rear-window wiper, which would make sense with the on-screen display.

Still, how can 1 tell which Wranglers have this feature? Is it 2022 on? Rubicons only? Recons specifically?

None, that's what people are telling you. The front camera has a washer. The rear glass has a washer. You can't push both buttons and wash the rear camera. There's no nozzle and no washer on the rear camera of any wrangler from the factory period.

That's a grand cherokee forum, again NO Wranglers have ever come from the factory with a rear washer. The front trailcam is an option, it's not model specific. They all come with the washer as the front gets dirty quick. The rear stays a lot cleaner even splashing in the mud.

You’ve gotten plenty of helpful answers. It doesn’t exist.

I have a 2022 392 and mine has it.

Does not.

It's because the same feed is used for both the front camera (if you have it) and the rear window nozzle on the hard top. Any time you use that on screen icon or push the washer stick to run the rear wiper/fluid, it cleans the front camera as well. It's definitely worded in a klunky way, but when you realize that they're both directly tied to each other, then it makes sense.

Any of the Jeeps with the front cameras have them. It's part of the front camera bracket/assembly. It's very easy to see if your jeep has a front camera, because it's at the top of the middle vent in your grille. You will also have an option in uConnect or in the Off Road pages to view front camera. It's only on the front camera, not on the rear camera.

HOWEVER, having a rear camera washer would be legit useful.

Sure appears some models/packages do: Thread 'Camera thingie's' https://wljeepforum.com/index.php?threads/camera-thingies.1806/

Again, that's a grand cherokee forum! There are Jeep models that have back up camera washers... and no spare tire on the back. That's not a Wrangler period. You will not find a factory rear camera washer on a Wrangler/JL any more than you'll find IFS. Yes there are Jeep models with IFS. You're arguing as if every option available on any Jeep is available on the JL. That's not remotely how vehicle manufacturers work. Which JL models can you get front wheel drive? Which JL models offer 3 row seating? Which JL models offer independent rear suspension? Which JL models offer heated and cooled cup holders? NONE. Just because it's available from Jeep doesn't mean it's available on the Wrangler.

Forget it, man. He’s rolling.
