2004 Ford Explorer rear window washer does not squirk fluid. Pumps leaves fluid on ground behind left rear tire

  • Anonymous Apr 30, 2010

    The line is clear to the window as I pulled the tube from the connector inside the window. How do you get to the pump as the line between the pump and the dispersion point must be leaking.

You may need to pull the rear door panel to get to it, but the fluid line is leaking between the pump and the jet.

Enough back-pressure can blow the line loose, such as heavy dirt or ice on the jet nozzle.

I'd have to say that the small rubber hose that takes the fluid to the washer nozzel is broken or split somewhere along its length.

Hatch window washer jet not working 2016 Ford Explorer Sport

If the hatch window washer jet is not working in your 2016 Ford Explorer Sport, there could be a few possible causes. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the fluid level: First, make sure that the windshield washer fluid reservoir is filled with fluid. If it is empty or low, the washer system won't work properly.
  2. Inspect the hose: Check the hose that connects the washer fluid reservoir to the hatch window washer jet. It may be clogged or disconnected.
  3. Check the washer jet: Inspect the hatch window washer jet for any signs of damage or blockage. You can use a pin or a small piece of wire to clear any blockages.
  4. Check the fuse: If the washer pump is not working, check the fuse for the washer system. The fuse may have blown, and you will need to replace it.
  5. Check the washer pump: If the fuse is fine, check the washer pump. The pump may have failed, and you will need to replace it.
If none of these steps work, it may be best to take your Ford Explorer Sport to a certified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.

My 2004 Ford Expedition will not spray windshield wiper when the button is pushed. The wipers do turn on, but no spray. Would this be caused by a fuse (the wipers do turn on) or is the motor bad?

Can you hear the washer pump running when you operate the washer switch? The washer pump is in the bottom (side) of the washer fluid reservoir. You should hear it running. If not, you can disconnect the wire connector at the pump and use a test light to check to see if there is power and ground at the connector when you operate the switch. If there is power and ground, replace the washer pump motor. If there is no power or ground, you most likely have a bad washer control switch. (You have to replace the entire Multifunction Switch)

If you can hear the pump running, check for washer fluid pouring on the ground. If this is the case, you have a broken hose between the washer pump and the jets that spray on your windshield.

Also note that there is no way possible that your problem could be CAUSED by a fuse!
For more information on this subject, please review this article: Where's The Fuse?

No windshield fluid is coming out for my rear window. My front windshield works fine. What's wrong?

They usually have a separate tank at the back of the car, have a look at your car's owner's manual and see where that tank is located, fill it with water (if you are not living in a cold area) or windshield wiper fluid.
