First I have to LOL.... But I guess that is easy enough to confuse.

I would only worry about possible corrosion of cooling components. Not sure what is in your washer fluid. This is really no big deal though, just drain, flush, refill and bleed out the air.

 

I did the same thing. I went to walmart and bought a fluid pump and pumped everything out of the overflow. How stupid could they be putting the same yellow cap on the coolant as on the washer fluid?!

 

I think I'll paint my washer fluid cap sky blue. I screw up enuff $hit on my own without any help from Dodge.

 

Did this on the 2gen diesel i have. Lol felt like a tard but it didnt hurt nothing.

 

The small amount of alcohol in the washer fluid will boil off fast enough. I doubt that it will cause any problems.

 

thanks guys. this is also one of many screw ups i didnt tell my wife about.

 

Uh Oh better keep it that way... lol

 

I did the same thing about 20K miles ago. Didn't do anything but drive it. Any alcohol should fume off and the water and blue dye should be harmless in the overall volume of the cooling system.

 

And I thought putting the same pic on the washer fluid refill cap as what is on the dash warning light was such a clever idea from Dodge....
