No good diagrams of this in the FSM, so question is how did Mazda route the windshield washer hose from the pump/tank unit to the 2x nozzles on the hood? If someone can take a good picture it would help. I'm assuming the hose runs up along the fender to the hood hinge area, then into the hood, and then there would be a T or Y fitting to connect both nozzles to the line.
PO had the washer pump/tank unit in a box when I bought the car, so now I'm just getting around to installing it all. Good news is the pump works, now I just have to run the hoses to the nozzles.
It runs parallel to the wire harness over the wheel inside the fender. There are atleast two clips along the top to hold it in place. From the tank to the engine bay its wrapped in split-loom.A single hose from the tank to the hood. I believe there is a Tee around the center of the hood, but I can't see it behind the insulation pad..
Thanks a bunch! I have the split loom piece but it looks like a few of my clips are busted, and I'm missing that 90* fitting/clip piece on the firewall. I'll be able to improvise a clean stock-like install with some zip ties & substitute hose fittings based on the photos though.
LOL, I've got money left, but I'll be using it on more important things than the overpriced Mazda clips & fittings as I can round up good enough equivalent parts locally for less cash. One key detail on the diagram confirms something I would have done anyway - keeping the line length to each nozzle as equal in length as possible, so that one nozzle doesn't squirt before the other one. Notice where the T is located on the hood, and the equal length branches to each nozzle.
