|
|
While replacing the windshield washer spray nozzle, I accidentally let the washer fluid tubing drop back behind the front of the van. Is there an easy way to retrieve it and reconnect it to the spray nozzle? |

Easy....I guess if pulling the dash is what you consider easy. |

Yes, there is an easy way, I had to deal with the same issue about 2 months ago, didn't need to remove the dash. I used medical type forceps or Sklar pliers, the ones with a long narrow neck, I had a perfect forceps around for the job from some old surgery. I used a flashlight to locate the tubing behind the sheet metal and then carefuly pulled the tubing out with the forceps. As a default, you can try with the end of a metal clothes hanger. It all depends on how far back the tubing retrieves inside but usually it stays close to the opening from years of being in that position, the tubing gets a bit rigid with time.

Can I Snake a wire from behind the instrument cluster? Are there any diagrams of the hoses? |
