Hello

Since I bought my dads S211 the rear wash has never worked, doesn't really bother be but if a simple fix I would like to have it working.

Any idea where I start? the Wipe works fine and I had the back trim off the tailgate off to look but nothing obvious and no signs of water anywhere..
 
***** (doh! insane nannyware - use a needle to poke) the jet to clear it

Is water leaving the tank? Pump running?

Clean the tank out thoroughly and flush the pumps (remove their hoses).

Then pull the rear door card and see if water comes out of the hose (remove from jet)?
And work your way back to the tank.

Purge the pipes with clean screen wash.
 
Tip, get a pin and poke this down the hole in the jet to clear it
they sometimes clogg up try this first
 
Pretty sure I've tried a pin think its more to it than that.

Try a guitar string.
A wound "D" usually has the thin core protruding for pricking ("poking" ;-) the jet, and it is long and flexible enough to probe the tubing around corners.

Failing that the inner of a bicycle rear cable or other thin flexible wire.
