The front washer plumbing consists of a small diameter rubber hose (8) that is routed from the barbed outlet nipple of the reversible electric washer pump/motor unit on the washer reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment side by side with the rear washer hose and the front end module wiring across the cooling module at the front to the right side of the engine compartment. The front washer hose is then routed along with the front end module wiring across the top of the right front inner wheel house to the cowl plenum assembly where they pass through a rubber grommet in the front of the plenum panel into the plenum area.

Within the plenum area, the front washer hose is connected by an in-line plastic connector to the hood washer hose (7). The hood hose is routed through a rubber grommet (5) on left-hand drive vehicles, or through an S-clip (6) on right-hand drive vehicles out of the plenum area toward the upper hinge bracket on the left side of the hood panel (1). Molded plastic routing clips secure the hoses to the upper hinge bracket and the left side of the inner hood reinforcement. The washer nozzle hose is then secured within the rear channel bracket for the hood silencer on the underside of the inner hood reinforcement cowl between the two front washer nozzles (2).

A molded rubber tee fitting (3) connects the hood washer hose to the right washer nozzle, while a molded rubber elbow (4) connects the hose to the left washer nozzle.

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