I installed new rams for the lift gate works great, but now I have no wiper or washer fluid. I checked the fuses under the hood and they are fine.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

By any chance, could you have opened the hatch beyond it normal limits damaging the wiring or causing something to come loose?

I checked a wiring schematic, and the ground is under the hood in the engine compartment. Have you checked to see if there was power to the components? You can do it with a simple test light. That is where I would start. Here are some links you may find helpful for testing:

Let me know what you find.
