Front Squirter Problems After Rear Wiper Removal

I have a 2006 MR and I have just removed the rear wiper and wiper fluid reservoir. Now the front squirter's won't work but the front wipers work fine. I have capped the main front fluid line and I also tried to bleed it. I'm unsure if it is an air bubble in the line or is there something I need to do to the electrical connectors to close the circuit. I tried to do a search but I only found threads with rear wiper plug questions. If anyone one has done this and has any info it would be a great help. Thanks

The front and rear share a fluid tank.

I realize the front and rear feed each other but there has to be a way to eliminate rear and have the front squirters work just off the front tank.

You arent picking up what kracka is putting down...

basically what he just told you is there is not a front tank...the tank in the trunk provides fluid for the front squirter as well as the rear!

What tank in the engine bay did you think was for the washer fluid?

Hopefully not the ACD fluid container!
The only thing else would be the ICS tank, but it says IX on his prof...

I actually only was working in the trunk and I thought the front squirter line went to a tank in the engine compartment.

i got rearended in my EVO. It's all put back together, but now when i try to wash the wind sheild nothing comes out even though the wippers go, and when i wash the back window it squirts front and back at the same time. i took it back to the shop and they said they never touched it. i can't figure out what could be wrong.

Seems like they only pluged the rear pump and T'ed the hoses front and back. They should be separate, a hose to the front and a hose to the back, each coming out of its corresponding pump. Check the reservoir in the trunk, you will see what I'm talking about.

Thanks, that makes since, I will check it out. The only thing is, is that the shop said they never touched it. Maybe something came off in the wreck?
