2005 Malibu Maxx, rear windshield washer problem

The rear windshield washer on my 2005 Malibu Maxx quit working. The hole doesn't seem to be plugged, we even tried the shop vac on it. The wiper works. The tank is right full. Any ideas?

Look at the check valve/one-way vacuum valve (located behind the rear left paneling). chances are that the valve is broken and leaking. remove the valve from the hose and replace it.

2006 Malibu maxx front or back washer pumps will not work. pulled both pumps out and made sure both work. I have pulled all fuses, relays out replace them all. Both pumps work off Separate switches.

Replacing parts just to replace them wont fix a bad wire or part. Better to use a voltmeter and ohn meter to check if your getting power to the wires. You may have a bad connection or bad switch on the column for the pumps. Without checking the circuits it will behard to tell what it is thats wrong. Find a wiring diagram and trace the wires and components.

Is the emergency brake on a 2005 malibu maxx lt a disc or drum brake

The emergency brake is just a cable that runs to the rear brakes of the car to actuate the rear brakes, so what ever your rear brakes are.

2005 chev Malibu maxx

Great design!!!! There is a plug on the right side of the unit.(like the ones on a stickshift trans) you need to remove it on level ground and fill through the hole you mentioned. It's full when fluid begins to run out of the hole on the side.
