about the fluid, dont even bother fixing it. I dont think anyone in the mx3 community has an actual working one. They are 2 reasons that cause it not to work, you either have a leaky rear washer tank (located under the trunk mat on the right hand side) which cause the motor to be flooded with water and rust, or you have a screwed up connection somewhere in the car which causes that.
About the other problem, Do a search on the site, millions of things will show up.<p>peace,, :D

so that's what the hole in the trunk is for!!! i don't have the rear washer so it's just a hole, i was like WTF?!?!?! oh and your rear defroster is probably the relay, it's located by the driver's feet on the left side. leave the key in the ON position and press the rear defrost switch, the relay will click. keep doing this until you find it.

just for the record, my rear wiper and fluid work perfectly.
nice to have if you park under a tree.

My rear window washer works so well, that it not only squirts all the way to the bottom of the window, it also squirts any cars behind me that are within 5 feet! Beat that!
