Rear Washer Hoses And Tubes - Description

REAR





The rear washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose that is routed along with the front washer plumbing from the washer reservoir under the left front fender ahead of the left front wheel housing to the engine compartment. Both hoses are attached to their respective front or rear outlet nipple of the washer pump/motor unit near the bottom of the reservoir. The hoses are then secured by retainers to the left inner fender shield. The rear washer hose passes from the engine compartment through a hole with a rubber grommet in the dash panel near the left cowl side (3) into the passenger compartment where it is joined to the rear washer hose within the body wire harness (2) by a plastic quick connect fitting (1).





The rear washer hose (1) and body wire harness (3) bundle is routed along the floor panel near the left sill back to the base of the left rear inner wheel house. The hose and wiring bundle is then routed over the wheel house and along the quarter inner panel near the belt line, then up the D-pillar to the upper liftgate opening header (2). The rear washer hose exits the body wire harness near the top of the D-pillar.

Near the center of the upper liftgate opening header the rear washer hose is connected by a plastic quick connect fitting to the liftgate washer hose (5). The liftgate washer hose is routed through the upper liftgate opening header panel along with the liftgate wire harness (4) through a clearance hole with a rubber grommet.





On the outside of the upper liftgate opening header panel the liftgate washer hose (4) passes through another hole with a rubber grommet in the upper liftgate panel to the liftgate spoiler (2) on the upper liftgate (1). The hose is routed through clips on the interior surface of the spoiler to the nipple of the rear washer nozzle (3).

Washer hose is available for service as roll stock, which may be cut to length. Portions of the rear washer hose are integral to the body and liftgate wire harnesses. 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.
