I have a 1983 4WD wagon. in the front of the car I have a single reservoir for washer fluid and it has a standard pump with one outlet that feeds the front windshield wipers. there is a loose tube near the reservoir that feeds the rear washer nozzle but I cannot find a second motor. I also cannot see where the rear tube is supposed to connect to the reservoir.
can anybody shed some light on how this is supposed to be connected?
Rear Window Washer Pump Location
Re: Rear Window Washer Pump Location
Welcome aboard! My guess is a previous owner replaced the defective double-pump reservoir (or coolant overflow bottle- they're riveted together) with an assembly that only had front wiper/washers. You should also have a disconnected 2-conductor plug nearby.
In what part of the world are you located?

if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!

Re: Rear Window Washer Pump Location
Thank you rer233 and dlb! That is exactly the info I was looking for. Now I know my combo coolant/washer reservoir has been replaced with one that did not have a place for a second motor. If I can't find the correct reservoir, I'll just tap into the existing one and mount a second washer pump externally. I'm located in Tallassee, AL. Thanks again!

Try car-part.com, it's a great resource for parts like this that you have to get from either wreckers or other enthusiasts.

already did - waiting to hear back from seller
Re: Rear Window Washer Pump Location
Good luck. I sold the one from my parts car, but that old plastic can get pretty brittle.
