The windshield washer reservoir is located behind the front right wheel, behind the wheel arch liner. The windshield washer reservoir is a plastic molding and is secured in the wheel arch to the body with two screws.
A level sensor is located in the windshield washer reservoir and is connected to the BCM/GWM assembly through a hardwired connection. A windshield washer pump and a headlamp washer pump are located at the base of the windshield washer reservoir. The windshield washer pump supplies washer fluid to the windshield washer jets or the rear window washer jet. The headlamp washer pump supplies fluid to the left and right headlamp washer jets.
A filler cap is located at the top of the windshield washer reservoir and is accessible from the engine compartment.
The washer pumps are located in rubber sealing grommets in holes in the windshield washer reservoir and secured with clips. The washer fluid hoses have quick release connectors which mate with the pumps. The fluid level sensor is a push fit into a sealing grommet in one side of the windshield washer reservoir body.
The windshield washer jets are located in the cowl panel, below the windshield. The windshield washer jets can be heated on some models. Power for the heating elements in the jets is supplied from the BCM/GWM assembly. The heater elements are active at all times when the engine is running.
