Default Rear wahers not working on my 99 v70

My rear window washer pump does not work but the rear wiper does work. However my front windshield washer and wipers do work. Where is the rear pump located?
Thanks

If it's like an 850, in the passenger front corner behind the bumper and under the washer tank.

If you have help and someone works the lever while you listen up in that corner and hear nothing, it's likely the pump.

There is a check valve that can clog that's under the plastic up high near the washer jet too. If you hear the pump running time to check the valve.

There is also a filter near the spare tire well under the carpet on the passenger side.

Thanks for the help. I did exactly as you said and when I activated the front you hear the pump but when you operate the rear the front is silent. It is like the 850 and are there 2 different motors or does that motor in the picture operate both front and rear?

Not sure on a 70 but mine has the front wiper washer control on the turn signal stalk and a separate wiper washer lever on the right.

Two separate systems, two pump motors that work independently but suck fluid from the same reservoir.

Have you already checked fuses ??
I'm guessing they might share a fuse but I don't know. That pump motor is a bit of a pain to get to for replacement so before you pull it you might want to use a test light or voltmeter to make sure you're getting power down there.

Yes the right side stalk works the rear wiper and washer. So is that motor under the tank 2 into one motor because I don't see 2 separate motors.

If your front (B) is working then have someone turn it on with the engine off and you under the hood. You should be able to follow the noise to the pump that's for the front. I think it's attached or right near the tank and can be seen from the engine compartment.

The rear pump (A) has to be reached from under the car. The photo is with the front removed so it's sticking out in the open but it's to the outside of the passenger side bumper energy absorber.

Edit: found a diagram.
