While the gas tank is out of the green car, I thought I'd get rid of the aftermarket windshield washer bottle. The bottle was added since the water valve in the steering column handle was leaky.
The electric pump in the washer bottle was controlled by a pushbutton switch hidden under the dashboard. My goal was to return the windshield washer control back to the steering column handle using either the original water valve or an electrical switch if I couldn't get the original system working. If the original system wouldn't work, I will still use the original washer bottle but follow it up with an in-line electric pump. Attached image(s)
