I recently noticed that the rear camera washer on my 25 Turbo is no longer spraying the lens. I can hear what sounds like a pump running when I initiate a wash from the screen but no washer fluid comes from the nozzle. I confirmed that there is fluid in the reservoir and the front windshield spray nozzles do work. This may be coincidental, but the car was taken in to the dealer about 3 weeks ago for the rear camera recall. I spoke to the the service advisor today and they said that the service tech did not do any work on the camera itself and that it was only a software/functionality check. I'll be taking the car back in to have it looked at but was curious to hear if anyone else has experienced this.

I had this same problem 2 days ago, I could hear the motor spin for a second and then pause and repeat but no water.
I gave everything around the camera and the spraying post a clean, tried again still nothing apart from a dribble - I repeated maybe 10 or 20 times and finally it started spraying again.
So i’m not sure whether it was a bit of dirt in the spray head or the pipe between the motor and spray head had dried out in the hot weather and it just needed a lot of presses to get the water through, but all working again now for me.

Did just as you suggested and after about 10 attempts it started spraying. Thanks again.

I had this same issue after the last visit to the dealer, however that was for different issues. I’ve just given it a good clean and several pumps through as suggested and its working again. Thanks for sharing!
