Weird reservoir with no cap
« on: June 20, 2011, 06:39:19 PM »
Hey guys, when I was washing my Jeep after the 101 I saw a round area that had water in it directly under my fuses(?) and air box.  I thought that water just collected there when I washed it.  I checked again today closer and saw that it is a reservoir of some sort and the round area looks like a cap could screw on top but I couldn't get a good enough look to see if it was threaded.  So being the curious cat that I am I stuck my hand in the hole and sure enough it is a hole filled with water.  What the he'll is this thing?  Oh I guess I should mention that this is a 2011 JK.  Please forgive me for being a noob if this is a simple question.

I'm not sure but it's either the fluid reservoir for the horn or turn signals.

It's a gas vapor emissions something or other. Forget what it's called but your jeep won't like you if you remove it. Ask me how i know....

Yep, that was a dumb question.  I looked even more and it isn't actually in the engine compartment.  It is the top of the coil on the suspension.  Now I am sure there is mud in that thing ... How to get it out?

If it ain't broke dont fix it! (and youll know when its broken) Youll start throwing codes.
