Rear Washer Line Pinched
Thought I'd share this in case others are having a similar problem.
My rear washer wasn't spraying, so starting with the most obvious thing, I put some fluid in. It overflowed almost instantly, so there's lots of fluid. I tried again to make sure I could hear the pump running, and it was. So there's fluid, and the pump spins, there must be some sort of blockage. I first checked the nozzle. It was clean. So I pulled off the interior trunk panel to see the fluid tank and the lines. Turns out the interior piece was pinching the fluid line against a metal body panel. The text blurred quite a bit in the transfer. The circled bit is where the line was being pinched. Just next to it is a clip that holds the line in place. To fix the problem, I first had to use a pair of pliers to squeeze the line and make it semi-round again. Then I removed the clip and moved it to the backside of the metal panel, and plugged it into the same hole: The line now runs behind that panel for a few inches before coming back out, safe from being squished.
