REAR

The rear washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose tube that is routed from the barbed outlet nipple of the rear washer pump/motor unit on the washer reservoir along with the front washer hose to the dash panel in the left rear corner of the engine compartment. The hose enters the vehicle wire harness at the dash panel and through the passenger compartment to the two rear door hinge pillars.

The hoses then pass through two holes with rubber grommets from the hinge pillars into the door interiors, where they connect to fittings on the rear wiper motors. The fitting on each rear wiper motor feeds the fluid through the center of the motor output shaft where a unique molded plastic elbow fitting is located on the output shaft on the outside of the rear door. The hoses for the rear washer nozzles are routed from the elbow fittings through the tension spring concealed on the underside of each wiper arm and are secured by molded plastic clips routing them to the washer nozzles.

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