Front Washer Check Valve - Removal






FRONT





1. Unlatch, open and support the hood.
2. Locate the front check valve (4) in the washer supply hose (3) for the front washer nozzle. The check valve is installed in the washer supply hose just outboard from the front washer nozzle (2) near the rear hood panel reinforcement (1).
3. Disconnect the washer supply hose for the front washer nozzle from the barbed outlet nipple on the front washer system check valve. A small quantity of washer fluid may drain from the disconnected hose.
4. Disconnect the washer supply hose for the reservoir from the barbed inlet nipple of the front check valve. Either install a temporary plug in the washer supply hose for the reservoir or secure the loose end of this hose at a point higher than the washer reservoir to prevent the contents of the washer reservoir from draining through this hose.
5. Remove the front check valve from the engine compartment.
