Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is integral to the engine coolant overflow bottle located on the left end of the air conditioning condenser
module in the left front corner of the engine compartment. A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the front and rear washer systems.
A bright yellow plastic filler cap with a rubber seal and an International Control and Display Symbol icon for Windshield Washer and the text WASHER
FLUID ONLY molded into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the top of
the reservoir just behind the filler neck when it is removed for inspecting or adjusting the fluid level in the reservoir.
There are separate, dedicated holes on the lower rearward facing side of the reservoir provided for the mounting of the washer/pump motor unit and the
washer fluid level switch. A snap post receptacle for the washer pump is molded into the reservoir to allow for mounting of the washer pump/motor unit
without the use of fasteners.
The washer reservoir is serviced only as a unit with the engine coolant reserve bottle. The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or
damaged, the coolant reserve bottle/washer reservoir unit must be replaced. The grommet seals for the washer pump/motor unit and the washer fluid
level switch, and the filler cap are each available for individual service replacement.
