windshield washer problems and questions

Post by Youngkidoldtruck »

the washers on my 68 F-100 don't work, i checked under the hood and saw one of the hoses are missing, its the hose that goes to the reservoir, i have no idea where to find the reservoir, or if the truck even has one, where would i find the reservoir? where can i find a replacement hose? and if it doesn't have a reservoir, where can i get one?

Bottom right in this photo of the 358 mile truck. You'll also find a wiring harness there, (by the radiator support DS that has I believe a black and a green wire):

Those would be the washer pump motor leads. Have someone push in on the wiper switch while you test for voltage there to see if you have power to that harness. The reservoir and pump are the easy, (and not too expensive part) of the system. :thup:

And the pump:

I'd also check the price at :
