2017 with rear washer issue...

[Jeff T]

Truck is new to me company car. When I got it the front reservoir was empty, $2.99 later it was full!

Front wipers are fine, I hit the rear wiper/washer and can hear the pump going but no spray. It's been cold so I just held the button down thinking the line might froze.

Stopped in a Ford dealer today with a couple questions, one of them the washer, when we popped the rear hatch there was a good size puddle in the Weathertech... And you could see the fluid dripping from the panel above.

I'll "assume" the panel just pulls straight down?? Thanks.

I had a problem with my rear washer not working. Took off the spray head and cleaned out the spray head. While the spray head was off I used the rear window and made sure the water was coming out. After that it worked fine. Try it.

The panel between the headliner and the tailgate does pop down. However, the plastic tabs break easily if you aren't careful so be prepared to shell out about $200 if you have meatsticks for fingers and no proper tools. My issue was in the engine bay still (fortunately) and only cost me $20.
Definitely take off the 3rd brake lamp and track the hose first. Could be simple. Worst case scenario is you would have to fish some new hose through the headliner? Or just get a coupler & cut the hose where it's torn.

Got the panel off, nozzle is clean. The problem is further up the line. From pumping the fluid I must have gotten wuite a bit of fluid in the headliner as several spots now have blue stains.

It's a company car so I won't be removing the whole headliner. Off to the dealer.

Thanks for the help!
