I can't find access to the passenger side window washer jet nozzle.

It's a 1998 Mazda B4k..

It's a ford ranger...

Yeah, what shuckins said a BFH-Big f***ing hammer.



But seriously, if you can find the driver's side one, just follow the tubing back to where it splices and follow up the other end.

I can't get to it..

I know where it's located, I could remove a sealed panel, but I'd have to have tiny arms, and x-ray vision to see what I'm doing.

Found out I need to remove the cowling panel..

How to do that now.. :confused:

Oh yeah, Ford engineering is amazing.  Maybe you'll have 8 inch long bolts to take out to get to it, who knows!  Good luck, and don't forget to take a break if you're about to smash the windshield.

That's how I fix most things...break it, then buy a new one (preferably from a different company) :)

Car could be a bit expensive though :(

Hawklore, you need to buy a Hayne's manual for that truck. It will tell you how to completely disassemble that truck and put it back together. They are about $20 at any parts store.

I've had one for every vehicle I've ever owned.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Actually, the drivers side power window on my 1998 Honda CRV stopped working, so I popped the door panel, removed the liner, and gave the actuator arm a good bash with a hammer.

Works fine now :D
Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Hehe!
Bigger hamer and More Power!
We`ve been having a few late night break ins in the area as of late.
Been doing a little freelance deterent work late night.
I have a 3 mil candle power Johnlight. ( I like to see the grill sparkle :)).
I was having trouble with it. Thought the switch had went bad .
Yesterday I went to disassemble it to replace the switch. Got POed and beat the living crap out of it. It`s working like a new one again. :)
