Rear Wiper Sprayer not spraying ?

[Subieee]

Hey
My rear sprayer does not want to spray. The pump makes the noise as if it was spraying, but nothing comes out.
Does anyone know what is wrong and/or what can be done? :?:

Thanks

check if the tubing from the pump to the sprayer is clogged of frozen, if not, your pump could still be messed up (spinning but not pumping)

sup dude, make sure the tank is full all the way. i thought mine was clogged also but when i filled it up to the top it started working again.

If its very cold at all mine freezes up. Like 30 and below it wont work, but also the pump is mounted a little bit higher than the wipers (I think so that you will have some left for the windshield in case of emergency)but definitely add some fluid, preferably stuff that de ices. I have some orange Rain-X stuff that de ices quite well and gives your windshield a bit of that Rain-X water beading goodness.

this is actually part of the design of the car rhat lets you know you are getting low on wiper fluid. The pickup for the rear sprayer is higher on the tank that the pickup for the front sprayer. This means that if you're driving and you can only get wiper fluid out of the front sprayers you should probably pull over and top it up soon before you run out completely.

Except that to activate the rear sprayer you use a different part of the control stalk...

It isn't that there is no fluid...it's always filled to the top. It just doesn't want to spray.
Where does the tubing feed through to the rear? I'm gonna just double check all of my lines today

I do not hear the pump, will see if she works..

lol of course my wife's impreza is the oppsite rear sprayer pump is lower,

the rubber hose should run through the the big rubber connector thingy* near the hinges of the hatch


*real technical term

I second this. Same happened when I filled my tank.

[Lojasmo]

Fill it. If that does not work, disconnect the hose, and see where the blockage is.

Mine was an electrical problem. I got a new tank from a junkyard, that fixed the problem but both terminals on both tanks were severely corroded.
I cleaned the terminals before I installed the new tank. :smt006

We've seen 2 different vehicles that mice had chewed through the hose alongside and under the left rear door trim..
