Rear window washer and fluid


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I am not crazy. I remember using my rear window washer sprayers multiple times n the past to clean the barn door windows. For the life of me I do not see spray nozzles back there where the liquid comes out. I bring this up because now when I try to spray back there I hear the sound but no spray. There is fluid in the reservoir under the hood and my front still sprays and works without issue. 

 

Does the rear have its own place to to fill? Where the heck does the liquid spray out of at the rear windows? I looked for 5 minutes the other day and there is nothing on top, sides, or bottom, OR on the wipers for liquid to spray out of.

What the heck???

The front and rear are filled from the same place  the hose for the rear goes over the right front door all the way back to the rear barn doors.  Their is a splice near the on the top of the door which leaked on mine .  Sounds like there is a blockage in the hose or the nozzles at the back.  Pull a hose off at the back and see if the fluid comes out.  Hope this helps.    Mine is a 2014 so I hope they did the same on yours.

Ok, I will give it a look tomorrow. The splice you mentioned is in the back? Where does the actual liquid spray out of in back? Does the nozzle sit on top pointing down to spray? I'll search and try to find a pic. I do not even see any hoses at all. I'll check again tomorrow.

 

EDIT- Took a quick look again before dark and found the issue. No issues with any hoses, which I never saw anyway lol. I found a vid that was talking about the rear sprayers and it showed me where they were. I did not know they were at the base of the wipers. The nozzles got moved/twisted somehow. Maybe from the ice and snow over winter? Anyway I twisted them a little to point them back on the windows and poof, sprayers spraying on the windows again. I guess since I was in the drivers seat prior I could not see the liquid missing the windows, and assumed they weren't working. They were working, but just spraying in air and not on the rear windows. 

 

 

Thanks for the reply...

If you put enough stuff in your TC like I have you won't be able to see the back windows any way!

 

 

 

I have a wagon.  The headrests on the seats do a great job of obstructing the view.  And with limo tint, I can't see much anyway.  Which means that I've never intentionally turned on the rear wiper, or activated the washer spray.
