Rear windshieldsprayer doesn't work. Wich shoots water you know

The rearwindow-whiper works. If I want to spray the rearwindow you can hear the motor/sprayer, but no water is coming out.

The front works and the resevoir is full.

No fix in the Haynes manual


How should I fix this?

There's a resevoir for the back. It's a bag that should be hanging behind the carpet to the drivers side of the rear.

Is it behind the driversseat in the floor?

Or under the backseat?

Or in the trunk somewhere?

in the rear hatch behind the carpet at the back. The jack is on the right side of the car, the sprayer bag hung on the left (as looking towards the front of the car)

Yeah, what he said . I would have described the bag as hanging behind the rear carpet by the left tail light . Basically opposite of where the jack is.

Test test...

did that come out as English to anyone else?

Sure, I had some vague referencing on a few adjectives, but i thought I described its location pretty nicely

Pratch, I was just thinking that "drivers side" varies between countries, and he did mention having a back seat .
