Hi all. I have a 2001 Chrysler Voyager. The rear wiper and squirter suddenly stopped working. I have looked in the fuse box and cannot find a fuse for it. Am I missing it or is there not a fuse for the rear wiper specifically? I thought maybe the motor went on the wiper but that does not explain why the squirter stopped working at the same time.
Thanks.
Can you hear the pump motor run...could it just be out of fluid? I *think* the fill for the reservoir is under the rear hatch on the left side. On newer units that was changed to allow fluid to be drawn for the main tank under the hood.
Try going under the hood in the fuse and relay center above the battery and find the fuse labeled "IOD" (usually near the top of the box) and pull for 2 minutes then reinsert and see if that helps , this will reset the bcm which controls all this stuff , you will lose all your radio settings when you do this ....Let us know how you make out

I never used the rear washer/wiper - didn't want to scratch the window...dumb huh? If I recall correctly....the filler port is on the left side just beside the large rubber gasket for the hatch/door. The actual tank is inside under the left rear trim panel.
I rarely use the washer because it's pretty useless. I use the wiper all the time in times of rain. I don't think our van has that fill port in the back, so we must have just one bottle.
I have an 01 and had the same problem with my wiper/washer. I checked the fuses/relays and even switched relays around thinking this would help me figure out if it was related to a defective relay. The previous post gave the correction location for the relay. I believe that the description on the back side of the fuse cover mentions that it is for accessories. Unfortunately I was not aware at the time that if you removed the relay for 2min it would reset the BCM, so I did not try this. I suggest you give it a try. Bottom line is that I had to have the dealer reflash (download software) for my BCM. They charged me $40CDN for this and it solved the problem.

I could not find a relay or fuse marked IOD. I found a couple that were mentioned BCM so I pulled them for a couple minutes. It did not work. still no rear wiper or washer.BTW, my washer tank is under the hood not in rear. Anyway, would removing the positive battery cable accomplish the same thing?

Yes, removing the battery cable would accomplish the same thing (and then some) as removing a fuse. It will remove all power from the vehicle, so long-term memorizations will probably be reset, like radio settings, engine idle learns, transmission adapts, etc.
You need to take the negative battery cable off for 5 minutes it will reset the pcm , after changing the wiper motor on mine I had to do this to get both components to work and it did
Just pull the negative of the battery for 5 minutes , my motor was slow so I got a junk yard replacement and it would still not work, So I took the cable off the battery and waited 5 minutes and it all worked. No fuses were ever blown The Pcm shut it down . Now my washer fluid and wiper motor work
My 2001 has a single tank, as had my 1996. My 1988 had two, and I thought about how much more that rear pump has to draw against when I saw my 96 had a single resevoir. I've never had any trouble with any of them, but I do only use the spritzer when the window is already wet from rain or at the gas station. The wiper does ~1.5 cycles before the juice starts spraying, and I really don't like the wiper going across dry glass.
BTW, I'm a huge believer in the Rain-x resevoir fluid and the window treatment for the side windows, it helps tremendously.
