WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Unlatch, open and support the hood.
- Locate the front check valve in the washer supply hose for the front washer nozzle. The check valve is installed in the washer supply hose about 5 centimeters (2 inches) from the front washer nozzle nipple near the rear hood panel reinforcement.
- Disconnect the washer supply hose for the front washer nozzle from the barbed outlet nipple on the front washer system check valve. A small quantity of washer fluid may drain from the disconnected hose.
- Disconnect the washer supply hose for the reservoir from the barbed inlet nipple of the front check valve. Either install a temporary plug in the washer supply hose for the reservoir or secure the loose end of this hose at a point higher than the washer reservoir to prevent the contents of the washer reservoir from draining through this hose.
- Remove the front check valve from the engine compartment.
