rear washer pump
My 94 855 lost it's squirt ability for the rear window before I even got my hands on it. Now that it's january and salt rules supreme over the roads in NY I would like to finally get this thing working again. Now... where is the pump located?

RE: rear washer pump
First listen and see if you hear the pump. If so remove the panels in the hatch area on the right side. There is an inline filter that gets clogged. After removing the panels look for the line and then you should see the filter.

No, it's the passenger side. I cleaned the filter and did the 'cleaning' on the pump itself. My pump was beyond repair, so I bought a new one at Eeuroparts for about $30. I hooked it up and it's still not working. I'm going to do some investigating this weekend, but I'm a little confused on why it's not working. - AB

Ludeless, I tried cleaning by your instructions but it didn't do the trick. It was permanently seized. Thus I bought a new one and it doesn't seem to work. It definitely gets power and the pump is working (by audible), but no fluid is moving. I need to confirm I don't have an inline block somewhere. - AB

RE: rear washer pump
I'm not sure about this setup, but you may have to prime the pump and put fluid in the line for it to get suction and start working.

RE: rear washer pump
I still haven't actually gotten around to this job yet, but I have one final question. Should I be looking high or low for the pump and filter?

The filter is low in the hatch area...you need to pull up the LH side of the floorboard to access it (at least on the wagons...). The pump is below the washer fluid bottle, you can access it from underneath the car.

RE: rear washer pump
Great! I found the filter in the rear without too much trouble, I'll look for the pump tomorrow. I found a second filter up by the filler neck, is this for the headlight washers or something else?
Both filters are clogged I'll order them when I determine the status of the pump.
