My rear wiper works, but I get no fluid. It has been this way since I bought it in March. Would this be a warranty fix? Where can I start looking if I want to fix it myself? Thanks in advance...

Do you hear the sound of the pump when you press the rear wiper knob in? The rear washer has a separate pump in the tank.

I would just take it in if you have warranty

When you press the wash do you see fluid leaking on the ground at the rear left bumper or front left wheel ? The system has tubing that runs from the front to rear. There is a connector behind the battery and one under the rear bumper on driver's side. They become disconnected sometimes.

Funny you mention this, I dumped about a gallon of washer fluid on the ground before I realized where the leak was.

The first time I used my I had to hold the button in for a good minute, maybe two, after that it worked fine.

No, just the sound of a dry wiper smearing dust/dirt into the rear glass...

I'd tell you to check the connections on the washer fluid tank, but it's under the battery and battery plate. I think a dealership trip is in your future. Maybe you could start with the fuses...
