In the
According to what I have on the 2003 TJ it's the ground for
the pump motor. But it also shows the pump motor at the back.

Pump motor powered by an 18GA Violet with Orange stripe
and Grounded by an 18ga Black wire via a jumper in the
hard top connector. (doesn't say which pins though)

If you know which motor is for the rear spray, you could
measure it with a volt meter, find the hot, then supply
a temporary ground. That would prove how it's done.
Then it's just a matter of measuring the connector at the
back when someone pushes spray the wire should go hot.

To make sure, disconnect the pump motor and try again. The
wire should not go hot.

hope that makes sense.. I'm drinking decaf.

Ah.. an anti tailgater device. :)

Just get a replacement squirter for a ricer.
They generally have a drilled bb in them which
can be adjusted with a small pin.
