Washer Fluid Lines

[91S10]

Does anyone know how to run the washer fluid lines off a 89 civic. what do you have to do to get to the washer pump to start the line, because i ripped them out a while ago, which was stupid let me tell you....But now i need to hook them back up. So if anyone knows what i have to do to get the lines run again it would be appreciated. THanks alot!

Follow these steps to determine why your windshield-washer fluid is not flowing freely, and soon you'll be driving with clean windows again. The problem may be something simple like a disconnected hose, or dirt in the spray nozzle.
Instructions

• STEP 1: Turn on the windshield washer with the engine off and the key in the On position.
• STEP 2: Listen for a humming sound to determine whether the windshieldwasher motor is operative. Open the hood and ask a friend to listen while you turn on the windshield washer. If you don't hear any sound, check the fuses.
• STEP 3: Replace the fuse if it is blown (see How to Fix a Faulty Car Fuse). If the fuse is not blown and the motor is silent, have your mechanic replace the windshield-washer motor. If you hear the motor humming, proceed to step 4.
• STEP 4: Check the reservoir and add windshield-washer fluid if its level is low or empty. You can fill the reservoir right up to the top-- usually it doesn't have any full or empty indicators. Use a funnel to avoid spills.
• STEP 5: Check that the water is not frozen in the reservoir. This will only happen in cold weather if you filled the reservoir with plain water instead of windshield-washer fluid.
• STEP 6: Make sure the small rubber hose that plugs into the windshieldwasher reservoir is attached.
• STEP 7: Follow the hose to the rear of the hood. Check for crimped, torn or broken lines. The line from the reservoir splits into two lines at the hood. If damaged, remove the line by pulling at the base where it attaches. Bring it to an auto-parts store and purchase a hose of identical width and length. Install it and check for leaks.
• STEP 8: Clear any leaves or debris away from the area around the washerfluid nozzles on top of the hood.
• STEP 9: Clear the washer-fluid nozzle's passage with a needle or a pin.
• STEP 10: Unhook the washer lines at the reservoir and at the hood, then force compressed air through the lines to dislodge anything stuck in them.

Wow very helpful,for what? I have no idea... The guy has disconnected his fluid lines and wants to reinstall them, not learn to fill the reservoir or have his mechanic replace a pump.

Well this is the only other thing that I can find for you......More or less, you need to make sure that they lines go from the pump to the sprayers on the hood of your car. Most lines are attached to the reservoir and lined along the side of the car where the resevior is located, and then ran across the back of the hood on the the nozzles that release on to the windshield.

Sorry for the extra information, but you may end up needing if it you cant get the fluid flowing right through the motor. If I find anything else I will let you know. Hope this helps........

Well its really easy to hook the lines up from the tank to the hood, the tricky one would be running it to the rear, like the back sprayer on the crx. But if all you need is to go to the hood, hell just get some tubing and eyeball it.
