Question about wiper fliud container

murdered05X · 04-12-2010, 08:05 PM

ok so some how someone played a trick on me and put radiator fluid in my windshied wiper fluid and i filled the resevior with it. Does anyone know if there is a drain plug on it somewhere? i have a 2005 4.6?

there should be a tube on the bottom you can just pull off and it will drain. if not its just held on by a couple bolts (easily accessed from the bottom of the vehicle), and you can pull it out and upend her... or you can just run the sprayer till its emptie...lol...

good luck lol, mine holds over a gallon.

i was amazed at how much it was taking and then the gallon was gone and it still wasnt full.

i looked and everything has sensors. i have to get this stuff out! its antifreeze instead of wiper fluid

so whats the problem? Drop the tank, or unhook the rubber line and let it drain...
