Thinking of buying a 2003 Eddie Bauer, anything I should watch out for?

Look on drivers side kick panel, theirs a small box with a sticker on it. Look for a 5 number code, that's the door code! It's by emergency brake pedal.

Usually the spray nozzle needs a real skinny wire. Go by the local motorcycle shop, ask if you can borrow one for a second. Also once it's off blow through with air tip and compressor after you unclog with wire. The easiest bet is pull hose from nozzle, make sure it pumps, if so just buy a new nozzle. You need your washer almost daily, especially in winter months. I'll look into the code on mine and report back.

So I have to remove the nozzle and clean it, I can't just point it downwards a little? Dang... well, I should have wire around here somewhere, that won't be hard to find!

I'm gonna go out and mess with the rear wiper and the washers, I guess I'll report back about how it goes- oh, did I ever mention on here that the CD player refuses to load CDs? I hit load, pick a slot, and then all I get is an error for all 6, and the door over the slot is stuck open too, that door opening is all I managed to get it to do.

It's on the DRIVERS side? Well, dang, we were looking in the wrong place! Do I need to remove anything to see it or is it just hanging there?

It's a small box with a plug and a sticker, hard to miss! As far as rear wiper, check for power at relays, we've got a 2001 expy owner with a no go on rear. Sorry I only have wiring for 2000. If you have owners book, locate relay/relays for up/ down of rear motor. Fuse box is behind passenger kick panel. One of the others can comment on relay location for motor. The washer pump should be same as front, just on lower part of turn signal stalk! I thought the selling dealer was going to repair the rear motor!

I stand corrected, according to the video, its above the brake pedal. The other video showed it on kick panel. If you don't find it I'll crawl under mine this afternoon.

Oh, no, my wiper works fine, it's just two inches off kilter. Like, when it's off, it's not on the glass, it's resting partially on the back door too. I just gotta move it right an inch or two!

On my 04 it is on the passenger side. Above and to the left of the fuse block.

Passenger side. The box is to the right of the large red wire. Fuse block in foreground on right.

Okay, I'll show that to mom and we can go look for it again today, but now I'm a bit confused about the whole Drivers side VS Passenger Side and 2003 VS 2004...

On the good side, I fixed the wiper, and here's a picture of the hitch!

OK Prince, got my knee pad pillow out, and flashlight. It is on drivers side kick area above Ebrake assembly. It's beige color, with approx 20 wire plug going to bottom of it. Theirs a five digit number on the sticker mine starts with 53, write it down on back of owners book. Alcohol and memory fade at night, at least for me!

Okay! Tomorrow me and my family are taking my car to church so I can show it o- I mean to see how well it goes, so we'll look again sometime tomorrow! Also, I just kind of poked around with the washer nozzles, they certainly look okay, but I can't seem to adjust them, are they easy to remove? if they are, I'll just take em off and blast canned air through em.

Just looked at mine, they attach to the hood, so as far as adjusting, I'd have to say no. You'll need to pop the plastic fasteners on the hood, and should be an easy removal. Pull the hose and hit washer button to be sure the pumps OK first. Don't want to go through all that work, and Find out it was your washer pump!

Well, the water comes through the nozzles, so it works, why would I need to test it again after taking the nozzles off?

Also, do I need to take off the entire plastic vent piece thing or do the nozzles just come off alone? (I'm wanting to make sure I know which plastic you mean)

As long as your spraying through nozzle your pumps fine. I haven't pulled this setup apart on this vehicle, but usually it's one piece that the hose attaches to. It should be pretty obvious once you get it apart.

Ok! You think I can just pop the nozzles off with a knife, or is that gonna break them?

Make sure that you check the wiper spray as you are driving, probably about 45-55 mph. When not moving it may spray high but be just right at highway speeds.

Okie doke, found out how they come out. Remove hose from underneath, squeeze both sides together, and it will push out through top of hood. You know you can key these things on your browser, and theirs u tube and other repair articles to all your questions. Your in the computer repair business, I'm surprised your not all over these repair video's. I'm 63 years old and a bonehead when it comes to computers, and I figured it out where to look. Your going to need to order dealer repair CD for 2003 expy. Their about $20.00 or less. Check EBay.

Dang, I didn't think of that, you might be onto something there- though, in all the other cars I've driven it works fine in both situations...

It's weird, when it comes to computers, I scour the internet for answers, yet when it comes to ANTYHING else I tend to prefer asking other people because something about having actual explanations seems to help more? I dunno, you're right though, some things might be easier to look up...

Oh, and that CD sounds like a great idea but ebay only has one and it's 40 bucks too, ouch
