Yes there is a seperate pump and a seperate reservor. Check the front resevor to make sure it has washer fluid in it. If it does then most likely the pump is bad or unplugged.

is the washer nozzle clear , pick out with a thin needle,also if the rear screen if fed from the only washer bottle , which is most likely then it will have a seperate pump for the front and back screens so i'd check the rear pump is working and not blocked etc
What happens when you push the washer for the front? if this van has a frt and rear washer then there should be two buttons for the washers, if this van has two then i have seen where the pumps where connected backward so the frt sprays in the rear and the rear spray to front but again this is for dual window washers, as far as the back rest you will need to do some testing, you wiil need to test the switch for the back rest and see if its a bad switch or motor, good day.
if it's real cold where you are, it could be frozen! Otherwise, check the little holes and try poking a toothpick in them or pour some warm water over them... Anither thing is the washer pump could be out, the rear one is seperate
hi the pump for r/washer is at the lower end of w/sreen fluid bottle accessable from under neath it will be either a pump solely for rear wash and another pump for front wash? or it may be a combined dual pump for both which will have seperate supply pipes for front and rear use rear select ion to dtermin whether pump is operating or not then come back to board with update ? for advice on problem with rear wash in-op ?
I wouldn't worry about tracing the hose just yet, most likely it's a bad pump. Find the wire(s) going to the pump, usually on the bottom of the reservoir and connect a test light to a good ground. Then have someone try to 'squirt' the washer fluid while you touch the test light 'probe' to the pump's wire connector. If it lights but no fluid squirts, it's bad. They are cheap and usually very easy to replace. If it doesn't light there's a brake in the circuit somewhere. (bad fuse, bad connector, etc.) Good luck.
There are two separate washer pumps underneith the washer res. behind the front driver quarter panel. The exact pumps are hard to find. I have the same prob with my 99, but both are out. I had a 98 that the front worked but not rear. I had to get a "universal" washer pump. I'm still trying to find a factory replacement for this one before I do that. No luck so far.
