1. Check the Washer Fluid Reservoir: Ensure that the washer fluid reservoir is filled with enough washer fluid. If it is low, refill it with a mixture of water and washer fluid concentrate.
2. Locate the Rear Washer Nozzle: The rear washer nozzle is usually located at the top of the rear windshield. It may have a small cover that needs to be removed.
3. Inspect the Nozzle: Check if the nozzle is clogged with dirt or debris. If there's a buildup of dirt, gently clean the nozzle with a soft cloth or brush.
4. Check the Washer Hose: Make sure that the washer hose that supplies fluid to the rear nozzle is not kinked or damaged. If it's kinked, straighten it out. If it's damaged, replace it.
5. Activate the Rear Washer: Press the rear washer button on your vehicle to test if the washer is working. If the water doesn't come out properly or at all, the blockage might be further up the system.
6. Clear a Clogged Washer Hose: If the washer hose is blocked further along its length, you may need to access it from inside the vehicle's trunk or hatch. Look for any sections of the hose that might be kinked or obstructed. Straighten or replace any damaged hose sections.
7. Check the Washer Pump: If cleaning the nozzle, hose, and reservoir doesn't resolve the issue, there might be a problem with the washer pump itself. You may need to replace the washer pump if it's faulty.
8. Test Again: Once you've performed the above steps, try activating the rear washer again to see if the blockage is cleared and the water flows properly.
Remember, if you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about any of these steps, it's best to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or seek assistance from a professional mechanic.
