Hoses And Tubes, Washer: Description: Rear

The rear washer plumbing consists of small diameter rubber hoses that are routed along with the front washer plumbing from the washer reservoir located at the right front corner of the engine compartment. Both reservoir hoses are attached to their respective front or rear outlet nipple of the washer pump/motor unit near the bottom of the reservoir. The hoses are then secured in troughs integral to the reservoir up to the base of the reservoir filler neck, where they connect to the engine compartment hoses.

The engine compartment hoses are sheathed within molded plastic convolute tubing for protection and routed along the right side of the inner fender to the cowl plenum. They pass through a rubber grommet into the cowl just above the right front strut tower. From the plenum panel, the two washer hoses are routed separately.

The rear hose is routed through the cowl plenum to near the center of the vehicle, where it passes through a rubber grommet and a hole in the dash panel into the passenger compartment. Within the passenger compartment, the engine compartment rear hose is connected to the body rear hose. The body rear hose is contained within and routed from the left cowl side inner panel to the liftgate with the body wire harness.

The body wire harness is routed along the left inner sill to the B-pillar, then up over the left rear wheel house to the C-pillar. At the top of the C-pillar, the wire harness and the rear washer hose pass from the body to the liftgate through a short length of molded plastic convolute tube and two rubber grommets. The rear hose is then routed separately to the rear washer nozzle mounting hole above the center of the liftgate glass opening.

Washer hose or tube 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 ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced.
