    Rear washer fluid stopped working - front still works

    The fluid is not frozen. I haven't had a chance to look for fluid running out anywhere it's not supposed to yet. Has anyone else had this problem? I understand the pump is weird - runs two ways.

    Get under the hood and have somebody operate the rear washer from the driver's seat. Do you hear the pump motor running?

    If so, you likely have a break in the line somewhere. If no, it's a pump or electrical issue.

    Have you checked your fuse box? I am not sure if the front and rear washers are on the same fuse.

    Had that happen once, line or nozzle was frozen. Pulled it in the shop for an hour and it started working again.
    There is only one pump with 2 outlets. Must be cheaper to build that way?

    Yup frozen. I did have water in there for the summer but thought I flushed it out completely with cold weather fluid. I finally managed to get some space cleared out in the garage and after sitting inside overnight it works again. Thanks!
