Rear wiper fluid question

[ttora4runner]

No wiper fluid is coming out of the rear wiper fluid nozzle (yes, there is fluid in it :chair:).

Is there a motor/pump that controls that and is there any easy way to clean the nozzles out (front ones are getting clogged).

Yes, there is and compressed air works well, but keep the pressure fairly low.
My guess is you probably need to look at the pump motor first.

do your front nozzels work?

reason i ask, i though it had clogged or pinched the line, turns out the rear will stop pumping before the fronts stop as you go low on fluid. try filling to the top and seeing if it works again.

Tried the fluid thing and nothing happens. The front nozzles are slowly not working.

id be looking at the pump(s?) and the lines, you may have debris in the line that is causing the slow down on the fronts and the empty spray out back.

I recently had my fronts quit working, I pulled apart some of the lines, there are some screen filters in some of the connections, one of mine was clogged.

The front and rear fluid pumps are attached to the fluid reservoir. You can access them through the right front wheel well. Like others have said look for debris in the lines and poke a needle in the nozzles to clear out any buildup that might be there. I've seen some pretty good buildup there when people use tap water in the fluid reservoir.
