Pump, Windshield Washer: Description
The washer pump/motor unit (2) is located in a sump area on the outboard facing side of the washer reservoir on the right frame rail, ahead of the right front wheel house. A small permanently lubricated and sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type washer pump.
An inlet nipple (5) on the end of the pump housing passes through a rubber grommet seal (1) installed in a dedicated mounting hole in the sump area at the base of the washer reservoir. When the pump is installed in the reservoir, a barbed outlet nipple (4) on the pump housing connects the unit to the front washer plumbing.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the reservoir by the interference fit between the pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a light press fit. An integral connector receptacle (3) on the top of the motor housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor unit must be replaced.
