windshield washer squirter

[mtnbiker2010]

I am just trying to take care of a simple project but of course it is never as easy as I think it will be. I am trying to make my washer fluid squirt out of the metal squirter things and I have one working but the other seems to be plugged or corroded. Do you guys have any suggestions fo cleaning these? Also it looks like mine have two holes in them one just above the other. Is fluid supposed to come out of both of them or just the top one?

Soak them in some CLR or other type of bathroom calcium deposite remover then use a small drill bit and a needle to clean out the holes

Before you attack them with a drill bit first try using air pressure to blow them out.

You mean you guys actually use those things ?

Yep, it's either that or get out (in the mud) and dump a bucket of water over the window. If not the mud just smears.

Welding tip cleaner & air

I replaced mine with a set off a mazda car. they have 2 holes in them and work great. they are plastic so I had to file them down to fit through the hole in the hood, then I just put the nut on them from the original squirters.

Yeah as of now I have nothing to spray the fluid out. Is there a tech article on how to rig up the entire system?

Not much to it. 2 spray tips on the hood. A windshield washer tank with a pump. Small tubing (1/8" or so) and a T. Run one line into the T and a line fron the T to each spray tip.

Oh, you also need to run 2 wires. One ground wire from the pump and then one wire from the switch. (Or optionally from a push button)

If the plug is there you can put a late F250 combo washer tank and radiator overflow tank on the drivers fenderwell. It looks like its made for it and the original plug works on it. Do a search for pictures

Here's the link to the tank upgrade. Since you have a 77 bronco you can get the intermittent wiper switch out of a later model ford truck or bronco, mine was out of a 91 bronco. It should plug into your existing wiring. You will just need to find the wire that goes to the washer pump and wire it up.
