   Hello folks,
   
   I've searched the forums and can't seem to find anything on here about my specific problem.
   
   When I turn the stalk, I get a tiny bit of washer fluid squirt out of the back washer, then it stops.
   
   Not sure if it's a pump problem or a blockage.
   
   Has anyone had anything similar happen?
   
   Cheers
   Mike

   have you tested it on the front if it was the pump it would be on the front as well as the back

   My front washer fires perfectly.
   
   Is there just one pump that does front and back?
   
   Completely clueless.

   Yeah, theres only one pump that does the front and back.
   If your front jet's are working fine, it points more towards a blockage in the line, or the head of the jet itself. Could also be a kink in the piping.
   Try poking down the nozzle of the jet with a pin to release any debris there, blow some air down the piping to try clear any blockages.
