I'm getting nothing from the rear window washer. When I press the button, I hear the washer motor run. I removed what I think is the correct hose for the rear off of the pump and fluid began running out. I haven't checked to see if there is pressure when the button is pressed. How likely is it that I have a clogged line or a kinked line going to the rear? Its a 1998 XLT 4x4 with 4.0 OHV.
 






If its clogged try disconnecting both ends of the line, one on the pump and on the wiper and blow the line out with an air compressor, that should clear anything if the line is clogged.

Turns out the hose had worked loose on the connect that passes through the body to the rear gate. Yep, you guessed it, the headliner was wet and had actually deteriorated the backing in a spot about about 4"x6"
