Rear wiper I can't find where to refill my rear wiper reservoir with more washer fluid. I bought this venture used and later discovered there was no manual, so I'm searching blindly through the rear and under the hood but with no luck.

    My problem may be something else then because my front wipers work fine and the reservoir in the front is full. the rear wiper used to work. any suggestions on checking the line that may run to the rear then?

I believe the fluid comes from the single fluid for the front wiper.

On my 2000 Blazer you just had to Fill the Tank under the Hood. Had a Line that ran to the Rear Wiper From There.

  • Anonymous Jan 04, 2009

    The Best way to Check would be to Drain the Reservor under the Hood and Check the Screen that is Over the Exit Hole at the Bottom for Clogs. Might even get a Can of Compressed Air and Try to blow out the Line once you have everything Disassembeled

I cant figure out how to spray washer fluid on the back window of my 2013 chevy sonic hatchback. the wipers have an intermittent /on/off switch. i dont see anything for spraying washer fluid though.

From the 2013 operators manual;

Push the windshield wiper lever forward to spray washer fluid on the rear window. The lever returns to its starting position when released.

The windshield washer reservoir is used for the windshield and the rear window. Check the fluid level in the reservoir if either washer is not working.

When using the wiper fluid the other day, we noticed a very strong gas smell inside our 2007 uplander. Hubby checked the wiper fluid reservoir and you could a couple of inches of gas floating on top! He...

I would venture a guess that the washer solvent might have been cross contaminated in a container before it was added to your vehicle. As an example: Someone may have used a contaminated container and added solvent to it such as a 55 gallon drum (bought in bulk) as a service station, dealership, or other such establishment, and not from a sealed one gallon container.

The rear wiper on my '99 model exped isnt working ,ford global says its the motor and it will cost me P13k . any one who can help me find a mechanic do some repair on this?

what is P13K?

check the fuse first. dealer can hook up NGS Tester and get fault codes to see what is wrong.

Principles of Operation
NOTE: The generic electronic module (GEM) will not activate the rear wiper system if either the liftgate or the liftgate glass is ajar. If either the liftgate or the liftgate glass becomes ajar while the rear wiper is in operation, the GEM will park the rear wiper motor.
There are two distinct modes of wiper operation:
  • Off Mode: In this mode, there is no rear wiper activity, and the wiper motor will be in the PARK position.
  • Interval Mode: This mode is selected when the rear wiper switch is in either the Interval 1 or 2 position. When this mode is selected, the rear wiper motor is driven up onto the glass by activating the rear wiper UP relay. When the wiper motor HIGH/LOW/PARK position input reaches the high position, the UP relay is deactivated and the DOWN relay is activated to reverse the wiper motor direction. When the wiper motor reaches the LOW position, as determined by the HIGH/LOW/PARK position input, the GEM deactivates the DOWN relay and will begin a new wiper cycle 1 to 10 seconds later, depending on the interval position selected.
To engage the rear window washer, rotate the rear window washer selector downward to the WASH position. The rear window wiper will run as long as the WASH position is selected. When the rear window washer selector returns to the OFF, INT 1 or INT 2 position, the washer will stop immediately, but the rear window wiper will continue for two to three sweeps and then return to its previous mode of operation.
The low washer fluid indicator chime warns that the washer fluid level is low. The low washer fluid indicator chime is a single tone with a duration of one second. The chime will sound when the low washer fluid indicator is initially activated.
The low washer fluid indicator warns that the fluid level in the washer reservoir is low. The low washer fluid indicator will illuminate when the washer fluid level is low and the ignition switch is in the RUN position.
The low washer fluid indicator will deactivate when the washer fluid reservoir is filled and the ignition switch has been cycled from RUN to OFF, then to RUN.
Inspection and Verification
  1. The wiper/washer system is a generic electronic module (GEM) controlled system; refer to Section 419-10 .
  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the wiper/washer system.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage.

Rear washer fluid

This comes directly from the owners manual.
Checking and adding washer fluid for the liftgate
Washer fluid for the liftgate is supplied by the same reservoir as the front windshield washer.

U may have a kinked supply line at the tailgate.
