Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
You can delete the headlight washers, but to be thorough, you will have to either disconnect the power to the headlight washer pump, located on the washer reservoir, or remove the pump completely and plug the access hole in the reservoir.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Replacing the bumper cover on 08 Box Base. PN 98750531100. Mine has headlight washers but some covers on ebay have the same PN but no holes for the washer nozzles. Any info on this. Can I just get a cover without holes and just delete the nozzles? Thanks Vince

You can delete the headlight washers, but to be thorough, you will have to either disconnect the power to the headlight washer pump, located on the washer reservoir, or remove the pump completely and plug the access hole in the reservoir. In other words, your washer reservoir has two electric pumps: one for the windshield and one for the headlights. Disable or delete the headlight pump. TO
