Rear and front windshield washer same pump or relay

[huntingjman73]

Rear windshield washers quit working. Found hose to rear has come loose from somewhere in rear of bronco. I have to pull side panels etc to fix. No time right now. Question is can I still use the front washer without water going to rear? Didn’t know if channeled/related from pump or in back.
I have difficult time with patience on all the plastic snaps. Want to set aside time to repair and take my time.

The rear is only activated with the turn signal stalk command, but that doesn't mean whatever was in the line hasn't drained out inside the Bronco.

The front windshield wash and front camera wash activate together, if equipped, but the back is separate.

Look under the rear passenger door sill plate. The line runs in the wiring channel. Mine was disconnected and dumped all of the fluid from the reservoir. I found the disconnect when replacing the sub woofer.

I saw your post from past is how I found original hose loose. I can’t see connector as it’s beyond the rear door jam. I was able to pull hose out as it’s disconnected. Hopefully reattach it and tank may be fine then?

I had already found your old post on this. Tubing was loose and I could pull it out. Just can’t get to connection without removing rear panel(I think) Maybe that’s why reservoir is emptying.

The reservoir emptying is exactly what was happening with mine. I was ready to replace the reservoir up front but not ready enough to order a $100 part. The connection is not very far under the rear panel. You shouldn't have to pull the whole panel out maybe just the bottom corner.

Yep. Just fixed it an hour ago. Thanks again.

There has to be a recall come on this one. I’ve got the same issue. Hopefully it isn’t too much trouble to find and fix.

It a hard fix. Just go slow and don’t force the plastic tabs

By re-connecting, did that fix the front?
Neither front nor rear are working for me, noticed it dripping from rear passenger side.

Got to be same issue. Mine seems to be working for now. The reservoir just empties if the line is not connected, must be the lowest point in the system and water will find the low spot.

I'll check tonight, when I get home from work. West TX dirt has been blowing all over DFW and I need the washer...

Yes. Reconnecting fixed it.
