On my wife's '04 Tahoe the rear window washer doesn't work. I checked the manual which said front and rear used the same bottle, and too check the level. I topped off the jug and tried the switch. It sounded like it was pumping but nothing out the rear. Got out and noticed that the drive-way was coved in the washer fluid. Has anyone ever had this problem? Is there a seperate pump for the rear washer? Maybe the hose off stopped up? Does anyony know of a source where I can maybe get a picture of the jug and pump? Thanks folks.

I had this problem a while back.
I took the pipe off of the rear wiper and detached the nozel on the end (where the fluid comes out)
Then I used a narrow needle to clean out the nozel, it had become blocked with limescale or solidified washer solution?
That fixed it.

Sounds like you should be able to find where the leak is by just following the evidence.

sounds like the spliter on the drivers side fender just under the hood came apart ...the line coming from the reservoir to the back is actually two piece they come apart time time
