Windshield Washer Hose: Description and Operation
Description
Front
FRONT
The front washer plumbing (3) consists of a small diameter rubber hose that is routed along with the rear washer plumbing (2) from the washer reservoir
(1) located at the right front corner of 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 each then secured by a plastic push-in type retainer to the right side front end sheet
metal within the engine compartment to the right side of the plenum panel (4). From the plenum panel, the two washer hoses are routed separately.
The front hose is routed up toward the inner hood panel reinforcement (1), while the rear hose or tube is routed through a rubber grommet and a hole in
the dash panel into the passenger compartment. The front hose is secured to the right hood hinge and the right side of the inner hood panel reinforcement
by plastic push-in type retainers, then is routed through the rear hood silencer brackets across the underside of the inner hood panel. Plastic in-line
fittings, a molded rubber tee and a molded rubber elbow (2) provide the take outs for the two front washer nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded plastic or rubber washer hose fittings cannot be
repaired. If these fittings are ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced.
