washer fluid heater - where to install in 2001 Civic?
I purchased the MotoMaster HotWash Windshield Washer Fluid Heater from
CanadianTire.ca When I popped the hood of my 2001 Honda Civic to figure out where to install this, the only place I could find where it would fit is just above the radiator fans - I just need to move a few electrical cables and bolt the box to the chassis near the hood lock mechanism. This is the first time ever I'd add anything under the hood (I'm not a mechanic-head) and I'm surprised at how tight the space is. Any better suggestions of where to install this? Has anyone installed this that can share their experience? Thanks, Richard rvp@ncf.ca Product info at http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/pr...=1164834430905 |

There was a recall on this...dunno if they fix it.

Re: washer fluid heater - where to install in 2001 Civic?
Yes, Canadian Tire recalled all of them, and the one they are now
selling has been fixed, although I couldn't say what the difference is, not having opened this unit and not having seen the previous one. Canadian Tire is a big enough corporation that one has to conclude that if they're once again selling it, they have no safety concerns.
