Default Follow-up question ? How does it work ?

My windshield washer in my 1995 318ti quit, and I replaced the motor. In the process, I noted that there were two fluid lines. One obviously runs to the nozzles in the hood for the frond windshield. The motor runs when activating the rear wiper pulse, and can't tell where the washer fluid goes, if anywhere. Looking all over, didn't see any nozzles on the deck or anywhere around the rear windshield.

The mechanic looked up the parts fiche, and was left scratching his head, admonishing me not to run the rear washer (if that's what it is) until he finds out something.

Seeing this post is the first reference I've seen to the rear washer.

Might someone provide the parts involved, and the routing of the washer line to the rear, specifically where it ends. And, what is the mechanism for the actual sprayer ? Is it a special wiper arm, or an attachment to it that has long gone missing on my car ?

Thank you.
