Hoses And Tubes, Washer: Description: Rear
The reservoir rear washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose or hard plastic tubing that is routed along with the reservoir front washer plumbing from the washer reservoir under the left front fender ahead of the left front wheel house to the outboard side of the left front fender load beam. 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. The plumbing is then secured by plastic push-in type retainers to the load beam.
The reservoir rear washer plumbing is connected by a molded plastic quick-connect fitting to the body rear washer plumbing above the left front wheel house. The body rear washer plumbing then passes from the engine compartment through a hole with a rubber grommet in the dash panel near the belt line to the left cowl side area within the passenger compartment.
The body rear washer plumbing (5) is routed up the inner left A-pillar (6), where it is connected by a molded plastic quick-connect fitting to the headliner rear washer plumbing (3). The plumbing is secured by plastic push-in type retainers (2) to the inner A-pillar. The headliner rear washer hose is secured to the headliner (1) substrate and routed along with the antenna wiring (4) toward the back of the vehicle.
Above the headliner (3) at the back of the vehicle the headliner rear washer plumbing (4) is connected to the liftgate rear washer plumbing (1) by another molded plastic quick-connect fitting. The liftgate rear washer plumbing is routed along with the liftgate wire harness through a clearance hole in the upper liftgate opening header (2) and rubber grommets in the upper liftgate opening trough and the liftgate inner and outer panels to the rear spoiler. The hose is secured to routing clips integral to the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) housing within the spoiler to the barbed quick-connect nipple of the rear washer nozzle within the liftgate spoiler.
Washer hose or tube is available for service only as roll stock, which must then be cut to length. Portions of the rear washer plumbing is integral to the headliner. 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.
