Washer Hoses And Tubes - Description

DESCRIPTION





The washer plumbing consists of small diameter rubber hose or hard plastic tubing that is routed from the washer reservoir located on the outside of the right frame rail ahead of the right front wheel house near the right front corner of the engine compartment to the two washer nozzles mounted at the back of the hood panel. The front hose (2) is attached to the outlet nipple of the washer pump/motor unit near the bottom of the reservoir.

The front hose is routed from the washer pump to the outboard side of the right load beam. The front and rear (4) hoses are connected by a molded plastic quick-connect fitting above the wheel house. The rear hose is routed to the right side of the dash panel, then up to the right hood hinge. The rear washer hose is routed around the right hood hinge to the underside of the hood panel (1), then between the hood reinforcement and the hood silencer pad to the two washer nozzles.

Molded rubber fittings provide the connections to the nipples of the washer nozzles. Several plastic push-in type retainers secure the washer hose at regular intervals along its path from the washer pump to the washer nozzles.

Washer hose or tube is available for service only as roll stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded plastic and rubber washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If these fittings are ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced.
