Hi, Does the rear window squirter for the wiper use the same resivoir as the fron or is there a seperate resivoir? How about the headlight squirter while i am asking?
Not that I care much about the headlight wiper/washers as i don't think they'll ever work again anyway, but I would like to get the rear one to work. It might just be clogged or are other issues common.
Thanks,
Chris

    There is only one washer fluid bottle, but 2 pump motors for the wagon. With the engine off and key on, push the washer button and listen for the rear pump connected to the bottle. If the wiper works, and I would first pull it away from the glass so it doesn't scratch, and you hear the pump, there is a good possibility that the backflow valve or line is clogged.

    If you use paste wax to polish your car, try inserting a needle in the nozzle hole first - gently.

    The headlight washers squirt only if the headlight switch is 'on'.

      Thank you!
      Seems liek a long way to run washer fluid tubing...but I guess tubing is cheaper than putting a second bottle in the car.
