Question Rear Washer Inop

The washer does not seem to work on my rear window. The wiper works fine and if activate the switch for the rear wash, the wiper starts wiping, but no fluid is coming out. Anyone have any ideas as to where I should begin? I'm assuming there must be a hose running from the washer bottle under the hood to the rear wiper?

Thanks in advance!

Yes..the forward tank also feeds the rear washer.

If you cannot hear the pump running....I'd check that first.

If the pump is running...may a blockage, kink in the line.

The wipers could work without the pump running.

I had the same issue. I pulled the washer tube off the wiper on the back and had to clean the end of it out. The small hole where the fluid comes out was blocked. I used a needle or pin to clean it and an air hose to blow it out. Was pretty simple to fix.
