There was some delay in receiving the part and they did not want to delay delivery. I found this out when I tested the rear washer and it did not work. They also said that when it left the lot it was now working. So they sent me the part and much to my surprise it was just the nozzle and asked my to go to my local dealer and have it installed. When I scheduled my appointment the service writer informed me that IF THE FLUID FALLS BELOW 1/2 OR SO THE REAR WASHER WILL NOT WORK. So the night before the appointment I filled the container and much to my surprise the rear washer worked.
So for all those who had the rear washer serviced and then find out that after a while it does not work...this may be the reason rather than a defective
system, just an apparent design flaw. I was told that this was meant to ensure that the front washer did not run out. The rear washer not working should be your indicator to refill the washer fluid. |
What a great idea! I'll feel stupid if it's in the book!! I was bringing mine in tomorrow!!! Of course the front is much more critical to keep clean than the rear in most conditions. But the leakers are a different matter! thanks for the info!
