Hi,
I have a wagon. The front (windshield) washer fluid works properly. There is no fluid coming out in the rear. Do they share the same pump? I checked all pertinent fuses and they seem OK. Is it just clogged lines or is there something electrically related?
Thanks

I think they share the same pump , the rear washer is fed by a light blue coloured pipe , hope this helps
Do you hear the pump running when you push the switch?
The rear pump is usually placed higher in the tank than the front one, so it will suck air sooner. Than it is common for wagons to have the long tubes kinked, or clogged. Start with disconnecting the tubing at the pump and see if the fluid sprays there.
where the washer arm is atached you wil see a plastic hood that pivots up to expose the nut holding the wiper arm in place.
In the center of that nut is part number 20 from G-AMG's post.
Part 20 is a plastic tube/sprayer with two very small holes required to generate the presure needed to spay the back window.
The dealer will sell you the replacement tube for cheap.
The trick I used to remove the old broken tube was to just find a nice barbed fish hook, insert it into the broken tube and out it came, new one clicked in place, very easy fix, no need to disassemble anything, and because of the shape of the tube/sprayer base it can only go in one way.
Thanks for the replies. When I activate the rear washer, I don't hear any pump action. When I activate the front washer, I hear the pump and it works properly. My guess is that they do not share the same pump but I could be wrong.
