Rear lift gate washer out of fluid

9ate light? What would that be? Are you sure it doesn't say "Gate"? That would be the rear lift gate. Bad switch which is hooked to the gate latch inside the tailgate.

Hope this helps

The '97 Explorer XLT I owned had a widow washer reservoir (cap) that is visible only when you open the rear lift gate up. Just below window height on the..umm.. driver's side (if not - check the passenger side). Locate it and fill it with fluid.. as I recall my '97 held nearly a gallon.

It can be faulty switch or its issue with lift gate latch.Its got stuck up hard or cracked inside.It has to be inspected.-----------

MARK THE POSITIONS OF THE WIPER ARM ON THE LIFT GATE GLASS,THEN REMOVE WIPER ARM COVER AND NUT AT THE OUT SIDE LIFT GATE, THEN THE BEZEL.BECAREFUL DONT DAMAGE PAINT.ON THE LIFT GATE.AND REMOVE THE UPPER AND LOWER LIFT GATE TRIM PANELS.DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AT THE REAR WIPER MOTOR, THEN REMOVE THE TWO MOUNTING BOLTS SUPPORT WIPER MOTOR WHILE REMOVING BOLTS.THEN INSTALL NEW WIPER MOTOR AND PUT EVERY THING BACK IN PLACE VISA VERSA.

The hose runs along the frame and up through the tail gate on the two piece tail gate, on the single lift gate the hose runs from the top where the hinge's is located that hold the lift gate. Common for the host to crack there, causing it to leak before it goes out to the wipers. Good luck and hope this helps.

That van only has the one washer bottle. You fill the front bottle and there are two pumps inside that bottle. If you don't have any fluid coming out the back end then check to see if 1 the pump works. If you turn it on and it you hear the noise then the pump works. 2 check to make sure that the rear line has not popped of the one way valve at the back.(you can seee the one way valve if you remove the body to gate rubber). 3 check to see if there is anything plugging the lines or rear nozel

if i am not mistaken it uses the same reservoir as your windshield washers. if its not working it may be plugged or malfunctioning.

if i remenber lift the back gate on the right side near the the light the filler there thanks pierre

Rear washer pump is located near bottom of washer reservoir, below the left front wheel house extension and between left inner and outer fenders. Have some operate the rear washer switch while you listen in this area to find out if the the pump is running. The hose from the pump routes up along side the reservoir filler neck, into the engine compartment. Just aft of the reservoir neck an in-line connector joins the hose to the engine compartment hose. The engine compartment hose travels the top left front fender wheel house to the dash panel, passing through a grommet into the passenger compartment. In the passenger compartment, another connector joins the engine compartment hose, and then up through the front driver pillar to the headliner, then above the headliner along the left roof to the rear of the vehicle. It comes out above the lift gate, in the hinge gap, and into the lift gate to the nozzle.

Not likely to be stopped up. First find out if the pump is running, and that there's fluid in the reservoir. Look for fluid running out somewhere near the reservoir. The pump isn't running, or the hose is disconnected around the tank. Look for leaks (when running the pump, and reservoir filled) at the lift gate hinge joint.
