Washer

[MrBreeze]

Hey there,

I found a leak in one of the tubes for my windshield washer, it appears to be in the steering column. How do I get to it? Do I have to pull the wheel and work down or is there another way?

Thanks!

There's a great way to get rid of that outdated system for cheap. Get yourself a plain wiper fluid pump (same type used in a rabbit, cheap) & run a new line from your tank to the pump & route it up to the wiper nozzles. Hook up a switch to the pump and voila. Make sure you put a small hole in the cap of your wiper fluid reservoir, or a vacuum in there will keep fluid from pumping. Never worry about not having enough pressure in your tank or having a hose leak & spray fluid all over your steering column & cause weird problems with your wiring.

Great idea.....I think I'll give it a try

If you add an aquarium check valve (use for the air pump) in the line to the squirters, it will prevent the fluid from flowing back to the tank. A momentary toggle switch works great.
