Rear Camera Washer Discharge While Parked

[WalleyeMikeIII]

Keep finding rear bumper, rear camera wet with washer fluid, and puddle of washer fluid on garage floor beneath vehicle after it sits for a bit. No evidence of washer fluid from rear wiper area.

Anybody have thoughts on what might make this happen??

Does your rear sprayer work? I've just discovered this past weekend that I've got a separation of my washer tubing at the back of the truck somewhere. Fluid doesn't get to the rear sprayer, AND my reservoir is getting sucked dry.

Searching for the separation yesterday, we found the fluid leaking out of the bottom of the truck near the spare tire. All signs so far point to the "break" somewhere as the line heads up into the rear of the truck, or shortly after it's into the interior back there.

I'm going to have to remove some of the rear cargo interior to get to it. Sounds like you may need to, too.

Same thing happened to me. The line just simply worked itself loose. Easy fix.

Did you zip-tie them or do something to hopefully keep them together going forward?

Honestly I don't remember. It happened quite a few years ago. Iirc I just put it back together--how it came from the factory. I've had it since 2012 and it only happened the one time. But it couldn't hurt if you put a small zip tie on it--just to be safe.

Well, it’s -15 here right now, so I’ll give it a better inspection when I can be outside for longer than 5 minutes!!!

My truck goes in on Thursday to have the dealer fix it.

I don't know if it's the same issue or not, but have you seen this thread? https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...-rear-washer-fluid-not-spraying-fixed.147800/

At least pull the shallow storage area/flooring from the back of your truck and inspect the area under it. My sound-deadening material showed blue spots where the washer fluid was clearly leaking out into the rear of the truck before finding its way out of to the underside of the truck.

Yes, going to do that as soon as the deep freeze is gone! Supposed to warm up a bit this weekend.
