Hose-Windshield Washer: Description
The front washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose (6) that is routed along with the rear washer hose (4) from the washer reservoir (1) located at the left front corner of the engine compartment. Both hoses are attached to their respective front or rear outlet nipple of the windshield washer pump (2) located near the bottom of the reservoir. The hoses are then secured to the body by three plastic push-pin type retainers (3) before entering the engine compartment near the left side of the dash panel (11).
In the engine compartment, the two washer hoses are routed separately. The front hose is routed up toward the hood (10), while the rear hose is routed through a grommet and a hole (5) in the dash panel into the passenger compartment.
The front hose is then secured to the underside of the hood panel reinforcement at the left side of the hood by a plastic push-pin type retainer (7). Two plastic in-line fittings and a molded rubber tee (8) provide the take out for the left washer nozzles, and a plastic in-line fitting with a rubber elbow (9) terminate and connect the front hose at the right washer nozzle.
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.
