In order to repair the damaged section of washer hose, use the following steps:
- Use a 9.5 mm (3/8 in) vacuum hose to replace damaged section.
- Overlap the washer hose onto the plastic tubing by, 12.5 mm (0.50 in) on each end.
- Secure each end of the vacuum hose with a 100 mm (4 in) cable tie.
- Verify the repair by activating the front and rear (if equipped) washer system and check the system for leaks.
- If the leak was located inside the main body wire harness or conduit, use electrical tape to retain the repaired section to the exterior of the electrical wire harness conduit.
- If the leak was located external from the conduit, secure the hose with cable ties to prevent unnecessary movement and unwanted noise.
If the leak requires the washer hose to be removed in the front of dash panel grommet complete the following:
- Carefully slit the grommet next to the original washer hose.
- Pass the new section of the washer hose through, next to the existing grommet tubing.
- Repair the hose on either side of the grommet.
- Use small tie straps to secure the hose onto the washer tubing.
- Verify the repair by operating the washer system.
- Seal any openings in the grommet, larger than the hose that was passed through.
