I Don't know if I'm just blind or stupid, but I can't find the damn windshield washer reservoir. Can someone enlighten me?
 
trunk? check under the spare tire in the trunk. the Filler will then be in the left hatch rail.

That's just for the rear washer though isn't it? At least thats how my 1g was, it had a seperate reservoir upfront for the front shield and in back for the rear.
 
The rear one is for both, if you take the spare tire out you will see 2 pumps on the resevoir, and (I think) 3 hoses, 2 for front and 1 for rear. But the resevoir is for both regardless.

My 1g had a front reseroir for front and a rear one for the rear as well...but the 2g is the same resevoir for both.

I was kind of thinking that, since it takes a few seconds before the fluid actually hits the windshield. That's just stupid LOL. Thanks

I duno about stupid.. you would rather have 2 resevoir's to maintain ?
As soon as the lines are full of fluid there should be almost no delay.
 
2g resevoir versus just about any other car out there is pretty killer only for the simple fact taht it holds damn near an entire bottle of fluid :) great for MN winters and spring!

[edit] And I agree that it DOES take a second or two for the fluid to get moving once the pumps start
 
the fluid reservoir on our 96 talon is in the engine compartment on the firewall right in front of the driver. Ours is cracked, and now I have to find a replacement or might end up repairing this one somehow ( the last owner must have decided to use water instead of washer fluid, grrrrr). I have a plug on the hatch rail where the trunk tank WOULD go - and the damn thing was leaking! I sealed it up with marine sealer for now, and will be getting a new seal when I can find one!
