Washer Circuit Operation

SYSTEM OPERATION
A electrically operated windshield washer system is standard equipment. The washer reservoir is located between the inner and outer front fenders, above and forward of the left front wheel housing. The reservoir filler neck is located in the engine compartment on the left inner fender shield.

The reservoir holds the washer fluid, which is pressurized by a pump when the windshield washer switch lever is actuated. The windshield washer pump feeds the pressurized washer fluid through the washer system plumbing to the windshield washer nozzles.

A low washer fluid warning lamp is standard equipment on all models equipped with the optional rear wiper and washer system. This warning lamp in the instrument cluster will warn the driver when the washer fluid level needs to be checked.

The washers will operate only when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On positions. A fuse located in the junction block protects the circuitry of the washer system.
