I think you need to remove some of the headlining to investigate the possibility of a leaking hose. The video of a Ford Focus may be some help

How to Replace Rear Screen washer Hose that is leaking 2001 Ford Focus

Check that the nozzle hole or holes are clear. Follow the tube back from the nozzles and find somewhere to disconnect it and make sure that you have a flow of water when activating the washers.

Hi Bd, If the washer reservoir motors are working and the reservoirs are not leaking and have the cleaning fluid, it's very possible and highly probable that the nozzles are blocked with dirt. Disconnect the pipes, and then put on a pair of safety goggles, Place an air hose over the outlets and open the compressed air, blowing backwards. Connect up the washer pipes and hey presto, clean screens! Regards John

Either the switch or the washer motor, or the nozzles are blocked in the front. Have someone select the washer and listen if you can hear the pump running, if not remove the front pump and power it directly from the battery to see if it will run. If it does check the lines and jets for obstructions. Last choice is replace the switch. (Costly and difficult).

Sounds like you have a failed one way valve it's built inline with the washer pipe. It stops water from flowing back so it doesn't take ages for the washers to work. There is two of these behind the drivers wheel arch liner and one on the osr of vehicle trace the pipe bk to fine the valve. Remove valve and fit a piece of pipe on it's place job done!

Check for a broken wiper washer fluid hose leading to the rear nozzle.

Check that the wiper washer water pump works.

Check to make sure the switch is sending current to the washer pump motor.

Check that the rear nozzle is not clogged.

Remove the windshield washer reservoir and give it a good cleaning with a mixture of 1 part bleach and 3 parts water. You may be able to clean it without removing the reservoir by flushing it throughly and the cleaning it while still on the vehicle with the bleach mix. After it is throughly cleaned put a bleach mix in the reservoir and disconnect the hoses from the spray nozzles and run the washer until the hoses are clean. Use a needle to clean out the nozzles, and the connect the hoses and run the washer until the nozzles are clear. Remove the bleach mix and then fill the reservoir with a commercial windshield washer fluid. I recommend Rain X.

Possible blockage in line or at the nozzle ends. There is a small screen that keeps debris from entering the lines but can get clogged. The screen is plastic and is inside the reservoir at the bottom between the pump and the outlet hose. Remove and clean the screen as needed. If the problem persists there is most likely a clog in the line. Slightly higher pressurized air (more than the washer pump can produce) could clear the clog. Be sure to check the nozzles for blockage too. Good luck to you

There are relays for the wiper motor in the Central Junction Box located underneath the hood of the car. No fuses. Start there. If not blown, then its either your switch is bad or the motor.

I blieve it's the same pump taht runs the rear and front washers.

The windshield washer comprises the following parts:

• Windshield washer reservoir, below the front left-hand fender
• Washer pump, on the outside of the washer reservoir
• Two washer nozzles on the hood/bonnet, adjustable.
