Clogged washer is a possibility.



My rear washer also doesn't work. My research has led me to believe the problem is a chip on the board for the rear wiper motor. I did the test mentioned above and I get fluid out the rear washer. I haven't wanted to spend a couple hundred dollars to replace the rear motor. I've had more pressing issues requiring that money.



Good luck!


Thanks. My rear washer does indeed pump water, but I don’t see it come out the back.
