Windshield Washer Hose: Description and Operation
Front Washer Hoses and Tubes - Description
FRONT
The front washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose (4) that is routed along with the rear washer hose (3) from the washer reservoir (6)
under the left front fender (2) ahead of the left front wheel to the engine compartment. Both hoses are attached to their respective front or rear outlet
nipple of the washer pump/motor unit (5) near the bottom of the reservoir. The hoses are then secured by a retainer to the underside of the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) bracket (1) above the wheel house splash shield before entering the left side of the engine compartment behind the PDC.
In the engine compartment, both hoses are secured by a retainer near the dash panel to the side support member for the left front fender (5). The two
hoses are routed separately from this point. The front hose (4) is routed up toward the hood (3), while the rear hose (6) is routed through a grommet and
a hole in the dash panel into the passenger compartment.
The front hose is secured by molded plastic retainers near the right end of the cowl panel to the hood hinge bracket and to the underside of the hood
panel reinforcement. A molded rubber tee fitting provides the take out for the left washer nozzle (2), and a molded rubber elbow terminate provides the
connection to the right washer nozzle (1).
Washer hose is available for service only as roll stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced.
