Rear Wash wipe pump/reservoir C900

It was an option, yes. Both of my c900s have/had a black plug where the wiper would go through the rear glass. Might be market-specific?

Dave,

I saw one in the NorthEast of the U.S. once, SOOOO rare.

Never again did I EVER see it on a real Saab 900 in person..ever..

I'll preface this with "just a guess", because I've only seen them & never had them on any of mine, ok?

See if there's an extra washer takeoff or line in the spaghetti coming from the front washer reservoir. Seeing the headlights are slaved off that I suspect the rears might be too, in which case you may be tracking a broken hose or union. Cheers

With my 9-3 I had to have the line replaced that went up under the headliner to the rear nozzle. I guess whoever had the car before me rarely used the rear wash, so the fluid in it dried up and the line became clogged.

I don't know if the system was similar in the older 90s0 (though I know in the late 900s it was). If you can find the line, try blowing it out first otherwise, it could be a real nuissance job to get done.

To be honest I was using the water would come from the bottle at the front, but it cant work off the same pump surely?

Well it does in everything else I'm driving at the moment except for a reasonably primitive '91 4x4! Cheers

Guess I might have a switch problem then as there's certainly no pump running.....
