Look down around the right taillight (behind the panels, of course) for
the hose. In that area will be an "L" shaped pressure valve that will
most likely be the cause of your problems.

If you open the tailgate and then remove the plastic cover across the top of
the opening you will find where the pipe ends up. It is near the tail lights
but goes up and over by the "C" or "D" pillar to the top of the opening. It
is possible that the pipe has been crushed by the tailgate hinge where it
comes into the opening area behind the cover.

All the best, Peter.

Try looking a little further forward, where the hose would come over the
wheel housing for the rear wheel, then follow it back.

it off....now I just need to find a new one..
