I believe the rear washer jet only works when you have the front squirting.

try squirting the front and at the same time, switch on the rear.

I will double check tomorrow.

I belive you can just switch on the rear without doing the fronts at the same time. I had this problem also way back when. I just cleared the line by poking the hole with a needle (be careful though) and turned the rears on.
I had to hold it on for about 30 secs+ and then it started to leak out. Yes...I said leak because mine doesn't spray in the rear.

Anyone else's leak out and not spray in the rear too?

mine do that! its so annoying! first of all i have to hold it for awhile, then it just drizzles out and does nothing...id like to know how to fix that too

same here

Mine too just runs down the window it doesn't squirt out.

Also when I use the rear washer it sets off the front wipers going too as if its shorting somewhere, so I have to spray the front first then spray the rear. I don't think that you can use the front and rear washers at the same time because I thought it was the same pump for both?

thats how it works. It doesnt need to squirt, it just drizzels out.
