check the lines to see if theyve come undone anywhere along the way to the back. Maybe a clog. this might be tough as they run through the interior but start with the easy places to get at. Maybe feel around the back for some wet spots, that would be a good indication the the hose is not connected

There really isn't much to this system. You're probably looking at a clog or a pinched line, and the procedure for both is pretty much the same - pick up some extra line and run a temp straight to the nozzle. If it works then, work your way back along the line, plugging it in and testing it from every join, until you find the offending section, then replace that.

If it doesn't work with the temp line, check the nozzle itself.

The res. is low. The pickup for the rear sprayer is higher than the front sprayer so if the back stops working you'll be out of fluid soon.
