| Re: Rear Windshield Washer Not Working All GM suv and vans inherently have this problem. I have had an oldsmobile silhouette premier, an escalade, a srx, and suburban. the only years there was no problem was on the older silhouette (owned two) it actually had the resevior in the rear and this one always worked as long as it was full. I noticed that if you run the rear squirters dry, they dont seem to ever get "primed" again. It runs of the front resevior and in some cases is 16 to 18 feet of hose away from the resevior |
