Windshield Washer Reservoir - Description

DESCRIPTION





A single washer fluid reservoir (1) is used for both the front and rear washer systems. The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is mounted between the right front fender and inner fender shield and ahead of the right front wheel, where it is concealed by the right front wheel house splash shield. The only visible component of the washer reservoir is the filler neck and cap unit (2), which extends upward into the engine compartment just behind the upper radiator cross member. A dark blue plastic filler cap with an International Control and Display Symbol icon for Windshield Washer molded into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on an integral bail strap.

There is a dedicated mounting hole in the sump area at the bottom of the reservoir provided for the reversible front and rear washer pump/motor unit (4). The outboard side of the washer reservoir has two integral troughs (5) which secure the front and rear washer hoses as they are routed into the engine compartment. The inboard side of the reservoir has two integral mounting tabs (3) that are used to secure the reservoir to right inner fender shield.

The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced. The washer reservoir, the rubber grommet seal/filter screen, the washer pump/motor unit and the filler cap are each available for individual service replacement.
