Rear Window Washer
 

My rear window washer is not working. The front tank is full and the front washers work fine. Is there a separate washer fluid tank for the rear window or does it share the tank with the front? Is there a second washer pump for the rear someplace, maybe that is not working? Have there been problems with the rear spray nozzle plugging or anything related to the plumbing?

Any help would be appreciated,

There is only one tank, but two seperate pumps with pick ups at different depths in the tank (the rear washer always "runs out" first as its pick up is not as deep in the tank so that you do not waste everything on the rear and then can't see out the windshield). One thing to check is have someone stand behind the truck while someone activates the rear washer. See if anything is coming out at all. There is a bit of a problem with the nozzels in the rear wiper arm breaking off leaving a big hole for washer fluid to pour out of. The result is that when you hit the rear washer button, fluid just gets pumped out the back and runs down the tailgate, rather than getting squirted on the glass.

Check Fuse #44 It Is Located In The Fuse Box In The Engine Compartment. Are You Having Overheating Issues As Well As This Fuse Operates The Rad Fan?

Part number for nozzle
 

I actually have the problem with the bad nozzle, fluid just runs down the hatch. Funny thing I did was lift the cap off of the back (above where the fluid comes out) and than pressed the sprayer - it must have shot 15 feet out the back.

If I can't get the part, maybe use this for unscrupulous tailgaters? ;)
