Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
The windshield washer fluid reservoir is secured to the left radiator closure panel between the battery and the coolant reserve bottle in the engine
compartment. The washer pump and motor unit has a barbed nipple, which is installed through a rubber grommet seal inserted in a hole near the
bottom of the reservoir. The washer pump is retained by an interference fit between the barbed nipple and the grommet seal, which is a light press
fit.
The washer reservoir has a snap-fit filler cap with a rubber gasket. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the
reservoir body, behind the filler neck. The reservoir also has a provision for a washer fluid level sensor.
The washer reservoir, grommet seals and filler cap are each available for service.
