Condition 1
Some customers may comment that the rear window washer is inoperative.
Cause 1
A chemical from the hose may have plugged the wiper nozzle.
Correction 1
Important:
Do not twist the nozzle when removing or it may break. Grasp the nozzle with a pair of pliers and pull straight off.
Replace the washer nozzle. If the nozzle end breaks off, use an airdrill motor with a 2 mm (3/32 in) drill. Using light pressure, rapidly trigger the switch
so that the drill bites into the remaining part of the nozzle and pull out. The broken nozzle piece is about 14 mm (1/2 in) long. Flush the system by
activating the washer.
Condition 2
Some customers may comment that the fluid spray from the rear window washer is not sufficient.
Cause 2
