I have replaced the tailgate wiring harness and hinges so I am comfortable removing the ceiling liner. The piece that I do not understand is the path from the engine, through the firewall, and into the passenger side compartment. Will I be better off replacing the tube? Or trying to blow compressed air through the tube? Or trying a different method to clear the clog?
I bought the car nine years ago with 190k on the clock, it now has 260k. All systems work. This is the last bit that is not working!
A 245 with all systems working - rare bird - congratulations!
My first thought would be to confirm that the washer pump is pushing water at the normal pressure at the pump.
Then, making sure that the rear washer nozzle is clear, disconnect the hose at the pump and apply water under pressure in the same direction as the usual flow of water.
Once all is well consider installing in-line filters for both front and rear washers.

Try taking the bottom off and cleaning it out. The pump usually gets dirty and keeps the motor from spinning. While you have the bottom off, you can hook it back up to the elecrtrical connector and see if the motor really is bad. Also, there is a check valve in the hose near the rt. rear tailight that never seems to never work for me. I took mine out and put a very light springed check valve in its place. I got the check valve from my Dialysis machine parts from work. You can just leave the check valve out and it will still work.
