Wow - major problems *already*

Wouldn't you know it, but as soon as I relocate the washer reservior I start getting problems. Some troublesome, some outright problematic. The short list:

1. An air gap would appear in the line, preventing the pump from working properly.
   
2. There appeared to be a parasitic drain issue, killing the battery overnight.
3. The fluid hose would leak at several places.
4. Electrical tape pulling loose at several solder joints.

I've definitely learned a lot by this simple procedure. Some key takeaways:

1. Relocate the resevior intake line to the side-bottom of the bottle. The hose no longer loops over the top, rather it all stays low.
2. Use only minimal solder - too much creates resistance issues in circuits.
3. Stay away from the electrical tape - shrink tube is much cleaner and a hell of a lot more effective.
4. Two words - compression adapters. Thinking that simply sliding a 3/8" tube inside a 1/2" adapter tube was stupid.

Anyway, all of this was solved. Bottom line - do it right the first time and stop taking stupid shortcuts. It's defintely a cheap lesson learned at this early stage.
