Maybe a case of swapping the 2 connectors on the washwipe water tank motor!
Have already looked at my washer motor which is on the bottom of the washwipe tank.
You will need to remove the driver side inner wheel arch plastics carefully, maybe just the front part only....was a year ago I did this.
Then you can see the washer tank, but still not an easy job ahead as I remember.
I had to use 1 hand to remove the motor out of its tank socket and waste whats in the tank.
There is a little extra wire, so you maybe able to move the motor closer to you to handle with 2 hands.....unless some idiot has been there before you and cut them shorter for no good reason!
Check what colour wires and which prong its connected to, use pliers, gently wiggling the connectors off and re-connect the opposite way.
A little force is needed to push the motor back into the tank socket.
I suggest adding a pint of water to test things, before re-fitting anything else

Not easy, just but a bit fiddly....good luck!
