Another round of "name that part"

And without a picture!!!

Ok, on my 87 n/a 5spd...

in the areaunderneath the passenger side headlight, behind the retractor motor, in front of the wheel well, is a reservoir type thing. What is this? Is this a coolant overflow reservoir or something? It seems to serve no purpose, is not really connected, but has some sensor thingy on the bottom. I get no codes, no idiot lights.

For $5 and a cookie... name that part!

And can I rip this thing out with no consequences?

That's where the reservoir is on my 91. As far as the sensor...tear it out.

haha that explains why my why winshield wiper fluid light is on. I thought it was on the other side of the car for some reason. Now I feel like an idiot...

Now that I know what it is... I don't think it's going to be there much longer. Thanks again guys.

That sensor is hooked up to the light on your dash! (low washer fluid level).

The resevoir on the other side of the car is for the headlight washers - if your car was so-equipped. The one for the headlights actually holds more fluid than the one for the windshield - go figure!

Wasn't there an option for a >1 gallon washer fluid tank?
