JOEHIO Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) Have had an unusual problem with my rear washer since the warmer weather (70's+) has arrived. The rear washer randomly squirts out a bit of washer fluid, just enough to have a line of fluid dry up on it, and leave a line on my CLEAN rear glass. I got my MKX back in late November, when colder weather was already upon us, and it did not do this at that time, or throughout the winter. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks, Joe Edited June 7, 2012 by JOEHIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Run it for 10-15 seconds. Should fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Does it only happen when you drive by some exotic foreign model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'll try running it for 10-15 seconds next time it needs a washing, and I wish that I went by an exotic model ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milktruk Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I have the same problem when the weather warms up, too. Are you using Rain-X (orange colored) washer fluid? For some reason it only "pisses" when filled with the Rain-X. When I use the standard washer fluid (any brand of the blue stuff) I don't have this issue.

JOEHIO Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 The only washer fluid that is in there is what came in the car when new, as I really didn't user the washers (front or rear) but only a couple of times in the 6+ months I've had it.
