Check Valve: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A single washer system check valve is standard equipment on this model, and is installed in the washer system plumbing (Fig 1 ). The check valve is integral to the washer nozzle plumbing Wye fitting located in the cowl plenum area beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel near the base of the windshield. The check valve consists of a molded plastic body with a raised arrowhead molded into its center section that indicates the direction of flow through the valve, and three barbed hose nipples formed in a Wye configuration on the outside circumference of the center section of the valve body. The check valve cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
