#26 Rear Washer Issues

Rear window washer nozzle was not spraying cleaning fluid.  Worse, fluid would leak all over the trunk around the spare tire when you tried to operate the washer.

Found this little check valve (lets fluid go only one way) at the nozzle blocked off (no flow).

     

Because pressure built up when you tried to operate the washer, it blew the connection at two tubes apart in the trunk area.

Also found the filter near this connection to be full of gunk.

Tried to repair the check valve and was able to clear it out but still wasn’t working properly so ordered a new one plus a new filter.

Replaced the check valve and filter and re-connected everything and tested to make sure it works and no leaks anywhere along the line.

    

Put the trim back on.

Check Valve $10.19, Filter $5.21
