What's in my trunk?

[IamCool]

I just got my dsm. 95 gsx with a 6 bolt swapp. There is a white bottle thing in the trunk that has wire and hoses coming and going from it. I was wondering if that was the oil cooler or something? i will have pictures soon.

If its on the driver's side, its the windshield washer spray bottle. There was no room under the hood, so mitsu put the bottle in the trunk. If you ever take your car to Uncle Ed's or some other oil change place, they freak out when they can't find your washer fluid bottle....

the white bottle is about 1-2 ft wide and 1 ft long. i am wondering if it has any thing to do with the car. It looks low on liquid but i don't know what kind.

Did you not read the post before yours? Windshield washer liquid is what it's low on. Windex bud. Or it may be blinker fluid.

hey its OK, thats what this section is for. So you open the hatch lift the cover and reveal your spare tire and as soon as you take your spare tire out you see this humongous plastic thing with fluid in it and wires coming out of it. well if you haven't figured it out by now from some of the posts it IS your windshield washer fluid tank. it has one pump that squirts your windshield or your hatch glass. the pump is located inside the white container and this is the reason wires are coming into it. there should be 4 wires. 2 for the activation switch on your wiper handle and 2 for you spray button on your dash by the middle vents.

How do i fill it up? is there a hole.

open your hatch..... look to the left where the driver side rear fender meets where the hatch would be if closed. Up on the water gutter for the hatch near the tail lights is a rubber plug... thats the solvent fill hole.

Yea, use a funnel too...you don't want that solvent sitting on your paint if you spill.

And get an Owners' Manual.
