Hoses And Tubes, Washer: Description: Front
The reservoir front washer plumbing (4) consists of small diameter rubber hose or hard plastic tubing that is routed along with the reservoir rear washer plumbing (1) from the washer reservoir located on the left outboard Front End Module (FEM) hydroform ahead of the left front wheel housing. The plumbing is attached to its respective front or rear barbed outlet nipple of the washer pump/motor unit near the bottom of the reservoir, then routed through dedicated troughs integral to the reservoir to the left front fender load beam.
Plastic push-in type retainers secure the plumbing to the underside and the outboard side of the load beam. The front and rear plumbing are then connected by molded plastic quick-connect fittings above the left front wheel house. The front plumbing is connected to the hood plumbing (2). The rear plumbing is connected to the body plumbing (3), which is routed through a grommet and a hole in the dash panel into the passenger compartment.
The hood plumbing (3) is routed from the load beam to the left hood hinge lower bracket, then to the left hood hinge upper bracket to the hood panel (1) and the inner hood reinforcement. The plumbing is then connected by molded rubber fittings to the barbed nipple of each front washer nozzle (2). The hood plumbing is also secured by plastic push-in type retainers to the load beam, the hood hinge and the inner hood reinforcement.
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 and routing clips cannot be repaired. If these fittings or clips are ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced.
