Washer reservoir repair or replacement ?
I have a 96 Civic and the windshield washers have lost pressure and barely
wet the windshield. I looked under the hood and all the hoses are tight with no apparent leakage that I can see. Thus I figure it's the motor - which I believe is attached or part of the reservoir. Problem is I am insure how to get to it - is it a big job ? I guess Honda sells the combo: reservoir & motor... I have the Haynes guide, but there's nothing at all on this.. Any ideas ? Best regards, DS |

Another idea is to check the length of the hose tubing for any crimping in the line. A clip holding the hose was also putting a kink in the line. If so, this is an easy and simple fix.

remove left front wheel, remove plastic fender liner,
The washer tank and pump are behind that. The pumps can be replaced by themselves. -- Charles Tague 93 Honda Civic DX HB 1.6L SOHC VTEC 14.85 @ 89 mph,1.98 60 ft.
