rear window washer resivoir

[ExporeRanger]

my rear window washing fluid resivoir has somehow disconnected from the filler hose..i went to refill it and the fluid went down the ender all over the ground..i examined it and the tube running to the resivoir tank inside the rear seems to hav disconnected frm the filler hole in the fender..what in the world can i do to fix this? i need the rear washer!

never looked at one, just it just push on? maybe just put it back on or use a clamp?

I used a zip tie to hold my tube onto the filler neck.

ya just zip tie/ clamp it. then when its fixed, if u ever happen to fill it in a busy parking lot like it did once, make sure you tell anyone passing by looking at you that "...ya gotta fill up the turn signal fluid..." lol i love where ford decided to put filler neck lol

Refilling in the parking lot... It always is a crowd pleaser when you are straddling the rear corner of your vehicle an fluid is dripping between your legs.

yeah..haha..how can i get the most access to this..beause i took a quick look..it didnt look that simple..would removing the rear light give me more room to work? or anything..because i didnt see the hose, nor did it look easily retreviable

that door panel must come off somehow.

dont know about first gens but second gens the door comes off where the jack is and the washer tank

Yes, that is also true for 94s, but I don't think that gives you access to the filler neck, if that's where it disconnected.

This might seem too obvious, but can't you just remove the filler neck and get access to the hose that way? If you can't reach the hose through that little hole, disconnect it from the tank, remove it completely from the truck, reconnect it to the filler neck and feed it back through the hole. Reinstall the filler neck and attach the other end of the tube back to the tank.

If all else failed, I would try taking out the light.

Just remove the filler neck by pulling it out (it is just stuck in like a grommet) and then fish out the hose with a coat hanger and reconnect it to the filler neck. I used rubber cement and it has held fine.
