Default Rear washer Fluid sprayer issue

Ok so I'm having an issue with my rear washer fluid sprayer not working on my wagon. i have replaced the filter and have a new nozzle as well to install however i tried to spray it and there's nothing in the filter even after trying for a few minutes. Is there a second pump or something for the rear sprayer?

It sure does seem to have a dedicated pump for the rear washer. The trouble, however, could be the pump or something else. Go over the wiring diagram to check everything else is fine before accusing the pump.

There is a separate pump for the rear washer. It is located behind the front bumper under the passenger headlight and just in front of the bottom of the washer fluid tank.
If I were you I'd pull the connector and have someone turn on the washer while I had a test light in there to make sure it's getting power before you replace the pump.

The front bumper was off for another reason. You DON'T need to pull the bumper to access the pump

Do you hear the pump running?
