Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the front and rear washer systems. The washer fluid reservoir is secured to the inner fender shield,
behind the left front wheelhouse in the engine compartment.
Each washer pump and motor unit has a threaded nipple, which is installed through a rubber grommet seal inserted in a hole near the bottom of the
reservoir. A plastic nut and washer that secures the washer pump nipple from the inside of the reservoir, can be accessed through the reservoir
filler neck.
The washer reservoir also has a provision for a washer fluid level sensor. The sensor mounts in a hole in the side of the reservoir that is nearest to
the dash panel. Refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Panel Systems for diagnosis of the sensor.
The washer reservoir, filler cap, and sensor are each available for service.
