WASHER HOSES/TUBES
DESCRIPTION
FRONT
The front washer plumbing consists of a small diame-
ter rubber hose (3) that is routed from the barbed out-
let nipple of the reversible electric washer pump/motor
unit on the washer reservoir (2) and along the reser-
voir filler neck into the engine compartment.
Within the engine compartment, the front washer hose
(4) is routed side by side with the engine compartment
rear washer hose along the top of the right front
fender wheel house to the dash panel. Molded plastic
routing clips (2) secure the hoses to the headlamp
and dash wire harness in the engine compartment.
The front washer hose is connected in the engine
compartment to the barbed nipple of a molded plastic
in-line fitting (5) installed through a rubber grommet
(6) in a hole in the right side of the dash plenum
panel. The barbed nipple of the in-line fitting protrudes
through the other side of the rubber grommet into the
cowl plenum area, where the cowl plenum washer
hose joins the front washer hose to the front check
valve/wye fitting.
The cowl plenum washer hose is routed through integral routing clips on the underside of the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel to the molded plastic wye fitting. The cowl plenum washer hose is connected to one nipple on the wye
fitting and the two washer nozzle hoses are connected to the other two wye fitting nipples. The washer nozzle
hoses are then routed along the underside of the cowl plenum cover/grille panel to 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 washer
hose fittings cannot be repaired. If these fittings are inoperative or damaged, they must be replaced.
