Description And Operation: Description
The washer pump circuit is supplied by a two-way electric pump located in the lower part of the washer fluid reservoir, which is located between the left front fender and the fender inner shield ahead of the left front wheel and the front wheel house splash shield. A small permanently lubricated and sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type washer pump. The electric motor is reversible and an integral valve body allows the washer pump/motor unit to provide washer fluid to either the front or the rear washer systems, depending upon the direction of the pump impeller rotation.
The washer pump is retained on the reservoir by the interference fit between the pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a light press fit. This fit allows for mounting of the washer pump without the use of fasteners. An integral connector receptacle on the top of the motor housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the engine compartment wire harness.
The washer pump cannot be repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire washer pump must be replaced. The rubber grommet seal/filter screen is available for separate service replacement.
