Rear Window Washer Hose Block?

[heehaw109]

I have a 2021 Rubicon JLU and I noticed that the washer fluid for the rear window was not spraying. I disconnected the hose from the back of the jeep and still nothing came out. So I disconnected the rear hose from the engine bay and it sprayed fluid. That being said, I know my washer fluid motor is good to go, I just cannot figure out what is going on between the fluid reservoir and the back window. I've also tried blowing into the hose from the engine bay, but it didn't do anything for my issue. Any ideas? Thanks!

Did it work in the past or has it always been this way? My guess is the hose is pinched somewhere between the engine bay and the rear window.

Thanks for the speedy reply! And yes, it has always worked fine. I noticed it wasn't working yesterday, I just can't imagine what could be pinching it off. I'm trying to find a diagram so that I can trace where the hose goes on it's journey from the engine back to the rear window.

Did you disconnect it at the quick connect fitting on the hard top? That has a valve in it that won’t let you sparky when it is not plugged in.

Have your ambient temperatures been cold enough to freeze the solvent / water mixture? I always buy the concentrate and mix with distilled water. The minerals in tap water may clog the system.

Check the connection at the inside of the rear door where the disconnect is for removing the top. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting, you should hear a click when it locks into place.

Did you ever find out what was going on here? I just ran into the same problem and it was working before.
