Hyundai Repair: Tiberon rear washer, washer pumps, washer reservoir


Question
Is there a separate washer reservoir for the rear window or does the water come from the front reservoir? If the front washer works but the rear does not, what should I look for?

Answer
1997-2001 models use two washer pumps in the same washer bottle.

2003 and newer models use a single pump in the front washer bottle which has two hoses coming off, one for front and one for rear.

If the wipers operate when you activate the washer, then the switch is good.

If you don't hear the pump operate when you activate the washer, then the primary suspect is the pump.
