Re: [FWDLK] wierd part-what is it????

[Bryan Scott <scott1990@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all!  Now here's my follow-up questions:  First, I only have one
washer jet.  What does the second nipple connect to, assuming the bottom
nipple is for the supply? I don't have a reservoir for fluid - I assume an
electronic set-up would be easy enough to find at NAPA?
