Rear window washer on 2012 Nissan Versa doesn't spray water. I can hear
pump motor run. Windshield washers work fine. I'm told both get water from
same tank. I cleared out hole in outlet over the window. I'm left thinking
it's a clogged line between water tank or pump and outlet. From what I can
tell tracing the line or replacing it looks pretty hopeless if you're not
very familiar with such things.

Any thoughts or live with dirty window? I'm pretty sure repair shop would
charge $100+ to fix it.


I presume it's the hatchback model you're talking about? If so, its
shop manual chapter covering the front and rear wipers can be found he

It shows how to access and replace the rear washer tube and nozzle.

ProTip: if you own a car, try to get your hands on the manufacturer's
shop manual for your specific make and year. Also, look for owner
forums online for that specific model. Those are your two best free
resources for troubleshooting and advice.


Did he disappear? He should send you a bottle of scotch for that....
I'm amazed at all the car repair stuff that's out there online, posted,
for free or being sold for a few bucks. IDK how they get away with it,
you'd think the owners would go after them. Especially on Ebay. I see
guys selling BMW service manuals on CD, that appear to be from BMW all over
the place for peanuts. Recently I learned there are guys in Romania
and similar selling the dealer PC based diagnostic software too that
lets you read, program all the computers on the car.....
