My rear window washer has stoped shooting out fluid.The front works fine and you can hear the pump working when you push for the rear but nothing comes out.Any ideas?
Hmm, not sure. If you were in a colder climate I could suspect freezing fluid in the hose, but since your in Florida no idea. A trip to the Smart Center is needed.
...remove small rear panel on the left side...peel back sound deadener...small blue hose is attached with the wire bundle in that area...you may have to pull the white foam insulation bag...there's an electrical plug under some foam shield but the hose has a push in fitting next to it...ask me how I know..ok..just fixed mine today
Mine stopped working about a month ago, in the same way as yours turk. Because it's not urgent I've been putting off a trip to the dealership until I can get the updates at the same time.
windscythe...try this ..use the rear washer for a few seconds..step behind the car and see if you have washer fluid behind the left rear wheel...if you do...it came of the fitting plug...

Glad to hear you solved the problem. Did you get any photos of the hose and connector?
..no photos..my camera was at work..I'll shoot some this afternoon if you still want to see it...I relocated the plug/washer fitting for easy access next time...you can see it by just removing the side panel...
Jetfuel, I already had a friend check behind and under the car while I used the rear washer. I did that just after it started happening- no sign of anything leaking.
