Where do I start looking when my rear window wiper - washer doesn't squirt?
Tank is full, front washer works, rear wiper works and has the pump sound but no washer fluid comes out.
This is after installing a new wiper arm, blade and hose?

I’d start by swapping the front/rear pump hoses to see if the rear pump will power the front nozzles. If it does, you know you’ve got a break or a clog somewhere in the line between the rear pump and the rear nozzle.

With the rear external wiper hose removed, does fluid squirt out of the hole where the rear wiper attaches?

When I had that problem, my rear hose was disconnected in the passenger rear, and the fluid was just squirting into the wheel well behind the trim. I would check that area.
