    My 1997 855 wagon's rear washer no longer works. I can hear the pump
    when I hit the button on the stalk, but nothing comes out. It does
    uses the same resevoir as the front washer doesn't it? The manual
    didn't state otherwise. Can anyone give me any cles as what is wrong
    and how to fix it. Thanks.

    In the rear of the car there is a filter this may be clogged or the check
    valve in the tailgate may be clogged

    In an earlier contribution to this discussion,

    I assume that there *is* plenty of liquid in the washer bottle? For saftely
    reasons, the takeoff for the rear washer is *above* that for the front
    screen - so that when the level gets low, the rear one stops first.

    How do I get to this filter? the housing on the nozzle looks and feels
    pretty secure. Is it inside of the nozzle? Do Ihave to back trace to
    some point? Thanks

    The filter is usually on the right side either behind the trim panel on the
    D post or just under the cargo area trim panel
