Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the standard front and optional rear washer systems. The washer fluid reservoir is secured between
the left front inner and outer fender panels, above and in front of the left front wheel house.
Each 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 pumps are retained by an interference fit between the barbed nipple and the grommet seal, which is a light press fit.
The washer reservoir has a separate filler neck and grommet seal. The filler neck snaps into the reservoir from the engine compartment side of the
left inner fender shield. A snap-fit filler cap with an integral bail strap is fit to the reservoir filler neck. On models so equipped, the reservoir also
has a hole provided for a washer fluid level sensor.
The washer reservoir, filler neck, grommet seal, and filler cap are each available for service.
