80 series window washers

[Penguin]

Hi Guys

I have a 40th anniversary LC and when I turn on the rear window washer, the front one also runs. Not so the other way!

Is there a valve somewhere that controls which washer to supply from the common reservoir?

Im pretty sure you will find there is two washer motors. the rear most one in the washer bottle is usually the rear, from memory the line runs down the left guard and into a grommet in the firewall. Id check to see if the rear washer motor is somehow back-feeding power into the front washer motor.

Standards and pre 8/92 use 2 motors, later has a valve that rusts up in the passenger side rear corner of the engine bay.....check www.lcool for fix.
