The windshield washer bottle on my 92 se has a leak.How do you get to it?Before anyone tells me to search, I did and I couldn't find a post to tell me.Thanks for any help.

 

Yeah you probably won't find any threads on this. That's a good question. It disappears down into the fenderwell. You might have to take out the passenger side wheel fender liner to get to it. Or you can just unhook the front screws and bend it out of the way.

 

since we're kinda on the subject of windshield washer and its components, does anyone have the problem of calcium buildup in the little squirter things? also when i DO get it unclogged, the pump is kinda weak. Could the calcium clog up the pump? any possible solutions? thanks

 

Mine stopped working altogether about 3 years ago.

If I need to wash the 'shield, I just pull up to a hose.

Checked the fuses to no success.. Don't feel like working on something I hardly ever used..

 

Turn steering all the way to the right.

Safely jack up car.

Remove lower splash gaurd.

Unlplug low-level sensor.

Unbolt 10mm bolts (2 I think).

Remove upper half of filler neck (enabling you to pull the tank through the bottom of the car.

That should be it. Piece of cake.

 

I had a small accident yesterday and now the washer bottle is broken and I did´nt habe time to fix it. Guess I have to do that now that you told me how to

 

they're not too hard to get to.

usually, if they're leaking it's because of the gasket around the pump. they're a few bucks at the dealer and take about 5 minutes to replace (once you get to the stupid thing!)

if the tank itself is leaking mark where the leak is, remove it, drain it, clean it, then let it dry inside.. squirt a bead of RTV silicone in the crack and let it cure, then stick it back on the car.
