I have a hose connected to my spare tire for the windshield washer fluid container. Does air from the spare tire pressurize the container in order to clean the windshield? And would I have an electric pump for the container. My windshield washer system is not working and I wanted to get started on that problem next. Thanks for the help.

Yes, the pressure from your spare tire makes the window washer system work on the 4 cyl, the 6 cyl have an electric pump. But be careful! The rubber hoses tend to dry rot & leak air or water after 30 some years. So you might have to replace your rubber hoses or switch to an electric water pump.
