Default Funny Rear Wiper Story

Problem is, I wasn't getting any fluid out of the rear wiper sprayer. I ordered up a new one and installed it easy enough. Same problem. No fluid spraying out.

I noticed a small valve connector type thingy inside the rear door. The tube from the rear arm plugs into it. I popped it off, hit the sprayer and fluid comes shooting out of the tube. Ok. I blew into the tube for the rear arm and it was clear. Must have been that little connector. I held it up to my air compressor and shot some air into it backwards hoping to clear it out.

Well, I guess I had the pressure cranked up too high and the stupid thing shot out of my hand. I can't find the damn thing anywhere now. I think it's buried in snow. I'm not gonna see it for a few months. (yeah, go ahead and laugh now. I sure did)

Anyone know what that part is so I can order up a replacement? I looked over the manual and can't find it.

I hooked everything back up without that part (I have some connectors used for our yard sprinkler drip system that fit perfectly) but I only get a dribble of washer fluid out of the rear sprayer now. It must have been some kind of pressure regulator.

Was it just an inline splice looking thing? Dorman/Motormite used to sell a windshield washer hose check valve, but I can't find it online right now. It's a one way valve that kept the washer fluid from draining all the way back into the tank. I will check the back stock at work tomorrow.

OverRover is on the money. It's a tiny NRV which needs to be fitted the correct way around, i.e. open in the flow of the washer fluid.

forgive my idiocy, but if that is merely a non return, it will no help your case of "the drips".
if you are not getting a good squirt, you might look at the spray nozzle. clean it out with a spray gun pin, maybe.
just a thought.....
