Headlight Cleaner Motor !?

In the wiring Diagram there is a Headlight Cleaner Motor.

Any ideas what /where it is.

if you have a Canada or Euro spec RX-7 then you will have the headlight washers.

The pump for squirters should be mounted on the fluid tank, just like the one for the windshield. Unless it has a seperate tank.

Doesn't the parts locator on the next page of the wiring diagram indicate where the "E-27" connector is?

That'd be where the motor goes.

I 1st thought is was the switch on the dash to raise the light to clean them
but that the switch right below.

Ive never seen a headlight washer and it was a puzzelment.

I believe the motor/tank sit UNDER the headlight motor on passenger side, actually in the fender area below, with appropriate shielding by fender liner. A nozzle sticks up thru the floor of the inner fender near headlight motor for filling...

The button is the headlight up/down switch on the side of the gauge cluster. You push it in as if you were putting the headlights down, only keep pushing. Mine doesn't work and never has. One day I'll get around to pulling the resevoir and lines off the car.
