: Rear window washer leak

Tried to use the rear window washer yesterday, motor ran but no fluid coming out onto window. I found out why when I saw the big puddle behind my left front tire. I guess the hose has come loose between the pump and the rear washer. The shop manual shows the hose routing but there is no easy way to access the hoses without removing 100 components. I hope this is covered by the warranty!

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.

I had the same issue. Only for me, when I was driving it came out the driver sie pillar and sprayed me in the face. The hose had come part. I got squirted by my car!

You mean the driver's-side front tire? You can check it in less than 30 seconds. The hoses and pump are very easy to get to just by kneeling/laying down and looking up towards the front of the plastic inner fender liner. You should be able to see where the hose fell off of the black resovoir tank/pump assembly and push it back on.

Thanks, but the puddle is behind my DRIVER'S SIDE front tire, not in front of it where the reservoir is located. A hose must have come loose above and rearward of the fender liner.
