Windshield Washer Hose: Description and Operation
Rear Washer Hoses and Tubes - Description
REAR
The rear washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose that is routed along with the front washer hose from the washer reservoir under the
left front fender 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 near the bottom of the reservoir. The hoses are then secured by retainers to the back of the condenser shroud and the underside
of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) bracket 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. The two hoses
are routed separately from this point. The front hose is routed up toward the hood, while the rear hose (2) is routed through a grommet and a hole in the
dash panel (3) into the passenger compartment. The hose is then routed below the instrument panel to the left cowl side inner panel and up the left inner
A-pillar (4). Midway up the A-pillar the hose is connected with a molded plastic in-line fitting to the headliner hose (1).
The headliner hose (2) large rubber grommet is secured above the headliner (3) from the A-pillar to the upper liftgate opening inner panel (4). Near the
center of the liftgate, the hose passes through a small rubber grommet in a clearance hole in the upper liftgate inner panel and through the washer nozzle
mounting hole in the liftgate outer panel to the rear washer nozzle.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll stock, which must then be cut to length. 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.
