Where is the back wipers water pump on a 1996 Chevy Tahoe?

The 1996 Chevy Tahoe's rear washer pump isn't located in a single easily-accessible spot like some vehicles. It's typically integrated into the rear wiper motor assembly. This means you'll likely find it within the housing of the rear wiper mechanism itself, located under the rear cargo area's carpeting or trim panel, near the tailgate.

To locate it, you'll need to:

1. Remove the rear cargo area's interior trim: This will involve removing panels and possibly fasteners near the tailgate to gain access to the rear wiper motor area. A shop manual for your specific year and model will be invaluable here.

2. Locate the rear wiper motor: Once you've removed the trim, the motor should be visible.

3. Inspect the wiper motor housing: The washer pump is usually part of the assembly, often mounted directly to or very near the motor itself.

Without a shop manual specific to your 1996 Chevy Tahoe, accurately pinpointing the location of the pump is difficult. Using a manual is highly recommended, as the location can vary slightly based on trim level or options. A Haynes or Chilton manual for your vehicle would provide detailed diagrams and instructions.
