rear window washer
When i try to use rear window washer the fluid comes out on the front window with front wipers not activating and rear one moving. The front washer works fine. The hose was disconnected above the headliner. Any ideas?

I have some ideas...
Does your front windshield washer spray on demand too? if not it could be that the front and rear supply hoses have been swapped.
If they work properly. I wonder if your washer pump assembly is stuck and it is only feeding the front. (I am guessing that Ford only has one pump to move the washer fluid.)

So you hit the washer button for the front and the rear wiper activates and the front sprays?
What happens when you turn the ring for the rear wiper to wash?
Sounds like the wiper lever or control board are toast. The Suburban I had ate wiper motor control boards like crazy!
BTW just a bit of humor.....why not activate both washer functions at the same time? Maybe they will offset each other and you will get clean windows.

The ring activates the wiper on the back window and a spray on the front. The front one works like it supposed to.

So when you twist the ring to was the rear window it sprays front and back and wipes the rear window?
Sounds like a switch or board is acting funky....
When I hit the rear window washer on the X it only does the back.

Somebody recently found the washer fluid hose kinked up in the back hatch...Could be part of your problem. Not sure why it would spray up front, though. Somebody may have tinkered with it in the past and re-routed/messed with the plumbing. If it ain't the plumbing, it could be a bad module/circuit.
