The gasoline engine washer fluid reservoir (1) is integral to the molded plastic component tray (4) located in the left front corner of the engine compartment. The same reservoir is used for vehicles regardless of whether they have only the front washer system or both the front and rear washer systems. Vehicles with both front and rear washer systems have a bi-directional washer pump/motor unit (3) installed in the reservoir in place of a single direction pump. The upper portion of the reservoir is constructed of a translucent plastic, while the lower portion of the reservoir is constructed of the same opaque plastic as the remainder of the component tray. A bright yellow plastic filler cap (2) with an International Control and Display Symbol icon for Windshield Washer molded into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the top of the reservoir behind the filler neck.

The diesel engine washer fluid reservoir (1) is also located in the left front corner of the engine compartment, but is secured to the left side of the radiator fan shroud. As with the gasoline engine version, the same reservoir is used for vehicles regardless of whether they have only the front washer system or both the front and rear washer systems. Vehicles with both front and rear washer systems have a bi-directional washer pump/motor unit (3) installed in the reservoir in place of a single direction pump. This reservoir is molded entirely of translucent plastic and is secured to the fan shroud through an integral mounting tab at the top (4) with a screw and a U-nut to the top of the shroud, an integral T-tab on the front of the reservoir that engages a slot in the shroud, and two integral tabs at the bottom that engage two slots in the shroud. This reservoir also has a bright yellow plastic filler cap (2) with an International Control and Display Symbol icon for Windshield Washer molded into it snaps over the open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the top of the reservoir behind the filler neck.

There is a dedicated hole in the sump area of each reservoir provided for the washer pump/motor unit. The component tray has a well just behind the reservoir that allows service access to the washer pump, while the diesel engine pump is accessed on the lower left side of the reservoir. Both reservoirs include an integral receptacle to accept the snap post on the top of the washer pump/motor units. The component tray has integral clips on its lower surface for routing the washer hoses, while the diesel washer hoses are retained by plastic routing clips to the engine compartment wire harness on the left side of the engine compartment.

Washer reservoirs cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced. The gasoline engine reservoir is service only as a unit with the left component tray. The diesel engine washer reservoir, the rubber grommet seal/filter screens for the washer pump/motor units and the filler caps are each available for individual service replacement.
