97' rear washer not working

on my 97' the rear window washer doesn't work. no fluid comes out at all. where should i start looking for the problem? the wiper works fine as well as the defroster. just the fluid doesn't come out.

You aren't just low on fluid are you? I know it sounds stupid but the rear washer will stop flowing while the fronts will work as a warning that you are low on fluid. I just found this out recently.

Fill it to the brim and let us know.

i've got the same problem. i can hear the rear fluid motor run, but no fluid comes out. I recently got the whole back portion of the car (rear window, breaklight, wiper etc) re-wired form the stealership, but they conveniently forgot to fix my rear fluid sprayer.

Its definitely not low on fluid. not sure what it could be. i didnt wanna start poking at it in fear of clogging it further if that is in fact the problem.

one time i sprayed the rear window, and nada....i was in my driveway while doing this, and i got out to see what the problem was, and to my surprise, there was a huge puddle of water on the driveway behind my rig. i checked the nozzle, and it looked like it was about to pop off. all i had to do was push it back on. This has happened a couple of times, does anyone know why could cause it to "pop" off?

Also, this may sound stupid but I have been guilty of this before, the wiper will only work if the rear window is all the way up, and I mean all the way up. Or there maybe could be a clog in the nozzle also.

speaking of washer nozzles... do you guys know any way to get any more pizzazz out my "sprayer"? Mine when activated just kinda dribbles the fluid out... did it since i stole it from the lot. I've check for leaks- nothing perhaps i just got a bad nozzle head.

I'm in the same boat. My rear nozzle has always just...lazily streamed fluid down the window instead of spraying it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Reviving this thread. My rear sprayer decided to quit working. No noise from the motor. Anyone know where the fuse is or anything else I can check?

Reviving this thread. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be installing rear window molle panels. Since I will have the large side panel trim pieces removed, anything I should look for?

Mine works, but I also have the lazy streamed fluid flowing down the rear window. Figured if there was something behind the rear side panels, I could look for the issue while they are off.
