HEADLAMP





Vehicles equipped with the optional headlamp washer system (also known as the Headlamp Cleaning System/HCS) have two hydraulically actuated telescopic headlamp washer nozzles (1), one beneath each front lamp unit. When not in use, these nozzle units are retracted behind the cover below each headlamp and concealed by a rectangular molded plastic cover that snaps onto the forward end of the nozzle.

The integral mounting flange of the nozzles are each secured by two screws to a stamped sheet metal mounting bracket on the outboard side of each front frame rail behind the front bumper fascia. A molded plastic barbed nipple connects each nozzle to a large diameter high pressure washer fluid supply hose from the dedicated headlamp washer pump/motor unit installed in the washer reservoir. A rubber boot seals the telescoping section of the nozzle to the fixed hydraulic body of the nozzle. Internally, each nozzle includes an integrated return spring and a pressure actuated control valve.

The headlamp washer nozzle cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the nozzle must be replaced with a new unit.
