Not trying to be a smart arse, i am just curious. Where did they stuff the spluge bottle back there?
Wouldnt make sense to run it all the way from the front, and space is tight.

I assume it is like my old Jeep and shares the same bottle up front.

They do share the same bottle up front under the hood. I would think that it takes a long time for the back washer to prime.

It did?

Ok, i stand corrected.

Hmmm... from a Northeastern standpoint, that just seems like an awfully long way to run a rubber hose full of liquid in an environment where it would freeze up half the year. *shrugs* This is why i am not a vehicular engineer.

On a lot of cars, the pickup for the rear washer is higher than the front. This means that the rear quits spraying before the front.

You've probably already done this, but check your fluid level.

Found the problem ! Was loading Christmas presents and left the tailgate open, sat in and closed the glass. Right where the line runs with the wiring when closed, pinched the line. I tried adjusting this thing and it keeps going to the pinch point. I think I am going to have to shorten the hose it appears to have to much slack. Thanx for the suggestions all !
