Default Windshield washer reservoir relocation issues

A few days ago we had a pretty bad snow day and mostly all my splash guards came off. The guards ripped off the wires to my reservoir bottle too. Now i dont have any fluids to wash my windshield when on the road.

When I bought my cai, i had to relocate the bottle to the passenger side. I was just wondering if anyone had a wiring diagram of what is what so that i can fix this problem. Ive looked around and tried to google it but couldnt find anything. All the things that i found were mostly with the supplied bottle which i didnt get.

? What got ripped off? The electrical wiring for the pump, or the hoses for the squirts?

Squirters and tubes are fine but the electrical wires were ripped off. I relocated the bottle to the passenger side and now all the wires are just hanging loose and im not sure which one goes where.

Were the wires ripped out of the plug or are they salvageable? If you still have wires hanging out of the pump just try to color match them to the wire harness (if that makes sense - match blue/stripe with the blue/stripe wire, etc).

Post a pic or something.

If you need the actual wire diagram, you can download a copy of the OEM Helm's manual (check out ephatch.com, it's stickied over there). That's the only place you'll find all the wiring charts.

The wires are just hanging there but just not sure which wire goes to which pump. Thanks for the site, will look there.

The Helm's manual on ephatch.com will be for an EP3 obviously, but I guarantee it's the exact same wire harness/diagram as a DC5. If that fails, try posting up your problem on Clubrsx.com or k20a.org.

Good luck!!
