I would have someone try to wash the rear window and see if you see washer solvent anywhere...But lets start at step one; is there washer solvent in the reservoir? Seriously though, I would check lines for leaks before I replaced a motor...but check fluid level and if the front works first.

front one works. does it draw from a higher spot? because the idiot who owned this before me drilled his bushwackers right through the reservior but it hold enough to let the front draw fluid.

I'm pretty sure it draws from the same spot...To the above poster, good call...check to see if the nozzle is plugged.
