Default Rear washer pump

I just replaced my rear washer motor but nothing comes out the back

I hear the motor working and detached the hose leading to the wiper arm

So there must be a clog or something between the front and the back

I looked and i have no leaks.

Just replaced the rear wiper motor and the hose leading to it looked good

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Thanks

id try a air blower ( very low pressure) or either take it loose at the pump and the rear wiper, take the loose hose end at rear wiper and slide it up into hose pipe. Turn on water and with your thumb block off end of hose pipe forcing water into the wiper hose and see if it clears your blockage.
If you cant get anything thru it after that , its collapsed or crimped somewhere.

I took an air compressor and shot in thru the hose

A bunch of white **** came out of there prob bacteria or something

Hooked the washer back up and it works great!

windshield washer fluid for some reason leaves a build up behind when it drys up and isnt used in a while.
