Which statement about washer pumps is true?

Which statement about washer pumps is true?

• A. Some washer pumps are contained within the washer fluid reservoir
• B. Some washer pumps are located outside the washer fluid reservoir
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Neither statement is true

Answer: (C)

Washer pump placement varies between designs. Some pumps are built directly into the washer fluid reservoir, so the pump sits submerged in the fluid and draws from the reservoir. Other designs mount the pump outside the reservoir, in the engine bay or near the firewall, with fluid drawn from the reservoir through lines to the pump and then to the spray nozzles. Because both configurations exist in real vehicles, the statement that some pumps are contained within the reservoir and others are located outside is accurate.
