Rear Window Washer Resevior?

Since I didn't get an owners manual with my used 2000, could someone tell me where the resevior is for the rear window wiper?

Sorry for the total noob question.

Huh?

Mine draws from the front, although I have a '93. I would suspect yours does the same, but I'm not sure. In the past, I have experienced some freezing of the washfluid tube. Only a couple times when it was REALLY cold.

Welcome to the forum!

I thought about that possibility but then dismissed it...Once again, I'm wrong. Happens every day.

My 96 draws from the front as well... there is a separate pump, but a single resevoir.

Me three, or four!

Side note:
I switched from blue washer fluid to the more premier Rain-X and haven't suffered a line freeze yet. Plus, it get's rid of the pesky magnesium chloride build up from tire spray.

If you look closely at the resevoir you'll see the pump for the rear washer is higher than the front one, so if the rear stops working it means your getting low on fluid.

Clever Eh!!
