Washer Hoses/Tubes: Description
The washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose that is routed from the barbed outlet nipple of the electric washer pump/motor unit on the washer reservoir through the engine compartment along the headlamp and dash wire harness near the right inner fender shield to the dash panel ( Fig 1 ). The washer hose passes from the engine compartment into the cowl plenum area through a dedicated hole with a rubber grommet near the right end of the cowl plenum panel.
Beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel, a molded plastic in-line fitting with barbed nipples joins the engine compartment hose to a cowl plenum I cover/grille panel washer hose. The cowl plenum cover/grille panel washer hose is connected to the washer system check valve/wye fitting on the underside of the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The cowl plenum washer hose and the two washer nozzle hoses are routed through integral routing clips molded into the underside of the cowl plenum cover/ grille panel. The cowl plenum washer hose is connected to one nipple on the wye fitting and the two washer nozzle hoses are connected to the other two wye fitting nipples. The washer nozzle hoses are then routed along the underside of the cowl plenum cover/ grille panel to the two washer nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If these fittings are faulty or damaged they must be replaced.
