the windshield washer jets work fine on the front glass...they feed from the resevoir under the hood.

my rear glass door has washer jets but nothing has come out of them since i bought the car new.

is there a separate resevoir in back?

i removed the closest cover to the jets but that turned out to be the stop light housing.

thx!
 
All works from the same tank, you will have remove the n/s wheel arch liner to gain access to the tank.
It might be that the washer tube has come off somehow.
Can you here the pump operating when you try the rear washer? , if not there may be a blockage, undo the tube at the jet end and see what happens.
The tube runs down under the n/s door plastic trim between the floor, under the trim for the sliding door, up and over the wheel arch, up the rear panel were back light cluster is located, and then through the rubber sheath to the back door.
Check for kinks and that the tube isn't trapped.

On my Qubo the reservoir is common to both front and rear screens, but the fluid does take a while to come through to the rear.

You push the control arm down towards the dashboard (i.e. away from you) to operate the rear screenwash ;)

It is possible to fit a ''one way valve'' [use a fish tank valve] to the end of the tube near the pump and this will keep the water from syphoning out of the tube and keep you rear washer primed and read for instant use.(y)
