Washer Reservoir: Description
The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is integral to, and located on the right end of the upper radiator shroud in the right front corner of the engine compartment (Fig 1 ). A bright yellow plastic filler cap with a rubber seal and an International Control and Display Symbol icon for "Windshield Washer" and the text "Washer Fluid Only" molded into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the top of the reservoir just inboard of the filler neck when it is removed for inspecting or adjusting the fluid level in the reservoir. There are separate, dedicated holes on the outboard side of the reservoir provided for the mounting of the washer/pump motor unit and the washer fluid level switch. A snap post receptacle molded into the reservoir allows for mounting of the washer pump without the use of fasteners.
The washer reservoir is serviced only as a unit with the upper radiator shroud. The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the upper fan shroud and reservoir unit must be replaced. The grommet seals for the washer pump/motor unit and the washer fluid level switch, and the filler cap are each available for individual service replacement.
