Default Rear windshield washer

Has anyone seen an issue with the rear windshield washer? Recently when I try to wash the rear window it sprays on the front. The rear window wiper stills turns on to clear the water but the water sprays on the front window. I tried disconnecting the wire assembly and that did not work. Just looking for some other solutions.

I believe they are made to spray both at once. Only one reservoir and one pump in the front, back is piped from the front via long hose.

My 2012 also sprays separately. You sure you are operating the controls properly?

The pump is designed to only spray one zone at a time. The rotation of the pump is reversed to spray the rear window by changing the polarity.

Mine DID spray separately until recently it will only spray on the front. The automatic 3 swipes of the wiper blades still works correctly. Meaning try to wash the back window the back wiper moves but spray on the front.

My 2010 would wash the rear window fine, but it would also spit on the front windshield a little bit.

Mine is a 2009. It definitely is not the same power when it sprays the front window. As you said it will"Spit" on the front window, but mine does the spitting in the front and nothing on the back window. I wish it would just warm up so I can just take the top off and forget about it until the Fall.

My 2011 does the same, I wouldn't fret about it it must be a counter pressure thing....
