What year?

Most of the rears have their own tank in the rear left compartment. The fill spot is on the rear pillar. Open your hatch and look on your left pillar somewhere around the cylinder holding the hatch up. THere will be a rubber flap there. You pull it out and fill in that spot.

On the early models before 1997 it is stored in a reservoir in the left quarter panel. You remove the access cover from the left side of luggage compartment. On 1997 and later the fluid is stored in the main washer compartment in the engine compartment.

Your '02 has the same reservoir (right front in the engine compartment) for front & rear washers. Are the front washers working?

On my 02 explorer, the washer is supplyed by the container in the engine conpartment, Ford used a T connection type splice for both, front and back. I had it come undone, it is located, under and to the back of the water bottle. If the front still spray, and the back don't, it is a good chance that is your problem.
