How do you get all the washer fluid out without removing the actual tank?

We remove the pump and block it off. What do we do with the flow? (Leave it in so we don't get a dummy light?) I assume the car will see "fluid" in the tank and be fine?
I'm sure there is a quicker way but I took the trigger and hose off a Windex bottle and put it in the hole of the washer tank where the washer pump was and pumped the fluid out by hand to get the remaining fluid out.

I also installed my led light here which was very easy it slides right in.







I mounted by control box right behind the carpet at the very end of the console. Its hidden but still accessible if needed.

Nice. I ended up just washing the floor in my shop for the most part lol. I removed the pump and 90% went into a oil container. The remaining on the floor so I simply washed where I was working. Once I drilled the hole in the bottom the remaining dripped out but I am sure there is still a tiny bit left. Hopefully the Meth will just absorb it HAHAHA

I had the shop do mine but the interior panel behind the drivers seat squeaks like mad at times.


They have had it apart and back together twice now, still makes a ton of noise.


If I wedge something between the window and the plastic it stops, for a while, then I have to move it again.


Anyone have problems with that panel making noise?

You will need one.. Running A&A kit and it was mandatory. Not for easy driving but if you race it is.

Make sure grounds in front of kick panel are tight. There are two where the sill meets the kick panel.
Thats the only thing I can think off.. the meth kit doesnt touch anything else that could create that.

That's the power relay but if that had any issue the meth kit would shut off. And your not having a problem with the power. It's connected at the fuse box in the back and has a fuse tap to energize the gray wire

I just went over everything the the power relay was hooked up on the 60a screw that comes out the battery instead like the one in this thread is hooked up on the bigger power terminal so I switched that made sure all the grounds where in place and tight. Tested the meth it works good I don't think the meth is messing with my dash it's definitely something else
