The rear washer hose is a component of the main body wire harness assembly. The rear washer hose is a hard plastic convoluted tube that is wrapped in the electrical tape along with the main body wiring harness. It starts underhood where it connects to the rear washer solvent container hose, this is rubber tubing. The rear washer hose routes into the main body wire harness underhood and passes through the front of the dash. The rear washer hose runs inside the vehicle interior along the left side rocker and over the right side at the 2nd bar beneath the front seats. It proceeds over the right side wheel housing and up the right side pillar where it connects to the washer nozzle hose, at the top of the lift gate opening.

1. Locate the damaged section of the rear washer hose, this will be hard plastic convoluted tubing.
2. If the leak is located inside the main body wire harness, cut back the wire harness electrical tape to expose the damaged section.
3. Cut out the damaged section of the rear washer hose.

1. Replace the damaged section of the rear washer hose.

•	Use a 9.5 mm (3/8 in) vacuum hose to replace damaged section.

•	Overlap the rear washer hose, the plastic tubing, by 10 mm (0.39 in) on each end.

•	Retain each end of the vacuum hose with a 100 mm (4 in) cable tie.

2. Verify the repair by activating the washer system and checking for leaks.
3. If the leak was located inside the main body wire harness, use electrical tape to retain the repaired section to the wire harness.
