Loosing washer fluid through rear door

Hope someone can help...filled up the washer fluid yesterday, and by this morning the bottle was empty again. There was a wet mark under the spare wheel, so clear it is leaking from there somewhere.

Have not investigated too far, but the rear washer is still working fine, and there is nowhere obvious the fluid is coming from. It is dripping of the most forward part of the spare wheel, which is a bit odd as the car is parked slightly up hill!

Any thoughts of what it might be, or anyone had anything similar happen?

Cheers in advance!

There is a valve in the line to the rear washer that acts as a non return valve. It is a spring loaded affair that opens with pressure from the pump. From what others post it is inline inside the rear door panel, but it could be inside the washer jet.

Yours is leaking.

Park nose down, to make the washer jet higher than the tank and it will stop leaking.
Or, plug the pipe to the rear washer and disconnect the wires to the pump.

I had the same problem. My Jimny is usually parked oin a small slope. It had an in -line valve, which is quite small. Remove the rear panel, quite job. The valve has an arrow showing direction of flown. I blew down the valve to clear and gave it a poke with a small piece of plastic, thin strimmer cord. I was afraid of scoring the valve so avoided using thin wire I think there was a small bit of grit which held the ball valve open causing it to leak, problem solved. No cost.

Thanks chaps.

I shall investigate ASAP, very annoying not having washer fluid this time of year!

Any hints or tips or how to's for how to remove the rear boot panel?

Cheers

hope these help Phil

this one shows the clips

and here's the rear door exposed


would be good if you could take step by step pics as you removed yours and make a guide for other users

Thanks Halford, will do a Guide when I get round to doing it, not sure how good the photos will be though as it will probably be in the dark!

Cheers
