Title: Windshield wiper fluid connector
Post by: ncaabbfan on December 21, 2010, 11:40:15 am
Earlier this fall, I filled the windshield washer reservoir and tried the windshield washer for proper function.  I did not get any spray on the windshields.  After I got out of the coach, I noticed some blue fluid on the front of the drivers side of the coach.  I checked further and it looks like it came out of the fitting that goes through the front cap where the small tubing connects to take the fluid up to the wiper blade.  This fitting is a black hexagonal fitting and the small tubing connects to it and it appears this fitting has a small cut or crack in the surface and edge.  I presume it goes through the cap and connects to the tubing from the pump.

So far, I have not been able to see it from inside the coach. How do I access the back end of this fitting (I presume under the dash) to remove it so I can replace it on each side? 

Also, I presume there are other components behind the front cap that will require maintenance access.

Thank you very much.

Our washer hose fitting broke off.  I took a short piece of spray can plastic tube and shoved it into the hose and plastic fitting under the windshield as a temporary fix, but it continues to work just fine.

Check at a model airplane supply for Dubro pressure fittings in 8/32 or 10/32, this will repair the plastic fitting.
