HEADLAMP WASHERS -
EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp washers on this vehicle (Fig. 3)
work in conjunction with the windshield washers.
The headlamp washers are enabled with the head-
lamps ªONº and the windshield washers activated.
With the windshield washers activated the headlamp
washers will spray twice for a predetermined amount
of time.
OPERATION
The headlamp washer system utilizes a separate
high pressure pump that is attached to the wind-
shield washer reservoir. The headlamp washer pump
feeds nozzles that are mounted in the front fascia of
the vehicle. The nozzle bodies have a telescopic
action that will extend the nozzles in front of the
headlamp assembly. These nozzles spray the head-
lamps when the system is activated.
To activate the headlamp washers, turn ON the
headlamps and them press the windshield washer
control knob. This will operate the windshield wash-
ers and direct two timed high pressure sprays onto
the headlamp lens.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEADLAMP
WASHERS - EXPORT
The headlamp washer pump pick-up is located
above the low washer fluid level sensor. First of all
check the fluid level in the reservoir.
(1) Check fuse #30 for continuity. If no continuity,
go to Step 3.
(2) If the headlamp washers do not pop up when a
headlamp wash is requested, disconnect the head-
lamp washer hose. To disconnect the headlamp
washer hose, push down on the latch at any connec-
tor with slight force and pull apart. When reattach-
ing, push till you hear a snap. With a regulated 20
psi of air pressure, apply it to the washer hose. The
headlamp washers should pop up out of the front fas-
cia. If not, check for leaks/connections in the hose.
WARNING: IF MORE THAN 20 PSI IS APPLIED TO
THE WASHER HOSE, WASHER FLUID MAY SPRAY
OUT OF THE HEADLAMP WASHER. WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES AND DO NOT HAVE AIMING DIRECTLY
TOWARD FACE.
(3) If the hose and washer spray assembly are OK,
check the washer pump for ground and 12v power
during a washer request. If defective, repair circuit
as necessary.

WIPER BLADES
REMOVAL
(1) Lift the wiper arm away from the glass.
(2) Disengage the release tab holding the wiper
blade to the wiper arm and remove the wiper blade
from the wiper arm (Fig. 6) and (Fig. 7).
CLEANING
Wiper blades exposed to the weather for a long
period of time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is recommended to
remove the accumulation of salt and road grime. The
wiper blades, arms and windshield should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or non-
abrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue to streak
or smear, they should be replaced. The wiper blade
should run smoothly across the windshield in both
directions. The wiper blade should slightly roll over
center when the blade reverses direction. A wiper
blade insert that has lost flexibility or a wiper arm
that has lost spring tension, will cause the blade to
skip or chatter across the windshield. If the wiper
blades are new and the wiper arm spring tension is
OK and a chattering sound is emitted from the wip-
er(s), the wiper blade is not rolling over center. If this
condition exists, (refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/
WASHERS/WIPER ARMS - ADJUSTMENTS).
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the blade onto the arm.
(2) Engage the blade to the retainer by pulling up
on the blade until the tabs snap into position (Fig. 6).
WIPER LINKAGE
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the front windshield wiper unit from
vehicle (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASH-
