Rear washer problem
July 1995 Honda Civic 5 door 1.6 SE
Rear washer has stopped working although wiper operates as normal. Front wipers and washers are fine.
Any ideas as to what the problem could be.
Update 25/11 : Problem solved - [1] Checked that water actually reaching back of car by disconnecting tubing as it goes from body to tailgate [2] used a needle to clear washer jet hole - seemed to be some sediment blocking hole.

I had the same issue with my '04 3dr hatch. I pulled the hose at the connector under the hood to ensure the pump was still working. It was. So I pulled the hose at the connector under the hatch. No fluid there. Took a 12 guage solid core wire and pushed it in the hose carefully as far as it would go. (only a few inches) a pipe cleaner would have worked better but I didn't have one.
What finally worked was just leaving that part of the hose disconnected and just running the pump for about 10 minutes.
Ended up being a calcium type buildup in the hose. The fluid started coming out in little spurts. Kept on the pump, giving it a break every couple of minutes so it didn't over heat. Eventually the crap in the line came out and now it works fine.
