Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle: Description and Operation
Description
Front
FRONT
The fluidic front washer nozzles (2) are constructed of molded plastic. Each nozzle has two integral latches that secure them in dedicated holes in the
hood panel near the base of the windshield. A check valve is integral to each front washer nozzle. The domed upper surface of the washer nozzle is
visible on the outside of the hood panel, and the nozzle orifice (1) is oriented towards the windshield glass. The washer plumbing fittings (4) for the
washer nozzles extend below the hood panel and are accessible from the engine compartment. The front washer nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced.
Rear
REAR
The rear washer nozzle (3) is a fluidic-type unit constructed of molded plastic. The nozzle is secured by a snap fit in a dedicated mounting hole in the
liftgate outer panel above the liftgate glass with the orifice (5) aimed downward. A rubber gasket (2) seals the nozzle to the outside of the liftgate panel.
The back of the nozzle includes an integral alignment feature (4), an engagement tab (1), a latch feature (6) and the washer plumbing nipple (7) which
are all concealed between the liftgate inner and outer panels when the nozzle is installed.
The rear washer nozzle latch feature is a one time component, and will be damaged if the nozzle is removed from its mounting hole for service. The rear
washer nozzle unit cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire nozzle unit must be replaced.
