Default rear windshield washer fluid

I can not get any washer fluid to come out the wiper for the rear window.

How is the fluid level in the washer bottle? Fluid comes out of the same washer fluid bottle, but the rear pump is higher than the front pump... If the pump is working, then you probably have a clogged line or a broken/crcked line somewhere along it's route to the rear gate...

The washer fluid works perfect from the front windshield and has been topped off several times. Could be a possible crack will have to check. Thanks

Ok, just wanted to make sure it wasn't something simple.

The washer hose routes from the solvent container, along the cowl, and passes through a grommet near the center of the cowl. The hose follows the rear lamp harness routing along the center of the vehicle's floor. After the second seat, it continues along the left side of the cargo area, over the left rear wheel area, then up the left rear corner of the vehicle for trucks with rear liftgates. With tailgates (flip down), it'll pass through on the drivers side with the rest of the wires for the wiper, locks, etc. The washer hose passes through a second grommet on the rear window, then attaches to the wiper arm.

What happens if you pull the hose off at the back, bypassing the nozzle? Does nothing come out?

If you listen carefully, do you hear the pump in the washer bottle running when the button is pressed? Try it with the key on, but engine not running. You'll probably need a buddy to push the button while you listen, but try removing the hose at the back first to see what happens.
