disabled aliens, what else do i need to unplug? (had a wiper fluid hose blow off)

i used my wiper fluid for the first time after i disabled the aliens by plugging the line, and unhooking/removing them. found that it blew a hose off. not sure which one yet. i'm about to go remove the wheel liner and find out.

is there a separate pump for them i need to unplug?

thanks...

I'd guess your plug popped out. There isn't anything else needed.

i plugged it with one of those rubber plugs you get from the hardware store that has a screw built in to expand. I expanded it until it was abit tight and then put a big zip tie around the outside to give it something to push against.

I routed mine into the front grille so I could surprise passers-by. j/k :-)

Could work, though. Didn't I see a post about that some time ago?

i used a bolt that fit super snug and then put a hose clamp on it...

we'll see. i'm going to check it out now. i think maybe it was just a freak coincedence and another hose came off...

The bottom pump is the alien one...>

Just unplug it, but plug the water line too so it doesn't siphon..
