Can someone tell me what line hooks into the white plastic fitting on the top of my wiper motor?

My car is a RS so all of my washer hoses (that were hooked up some were dry rotted and fallen off)were hooked up on bottom.

this might help too, close up photo of the solenoid in place with hoses on it. The AIM manual will show you the routing of the black hoses.

Well after looking at these pics I'm missing the solenoid on mine. Mine only has one port on the white piece that's left. Looks like from your pic that there is another white piece with another port on it, is that right?

Or is that other port on the solenoid? I wondered where those other wires went that jumped off the wiper motor harness, now I know.

Guess I can start hunting for the pieces to fix it now.

the solenoid has 3 ports. One in center of the elec. solenoid itself, the 2 other ports are on the side of it. The wires piggy back over to the existing wires on the regular windshield squirter wires. When you hold the wiper switch over to the right and hold it there, the extra headlight solenoid gets power to activate and squirt the headlights then.
The center port plastic gets broken alot, mine is that way too. Easy to hit it with elbow or tools I guess.

Yep its broken down to its base. Its toast. Time to hit the salavage yards and keep an eye on ebay but they will get pricey.
I even had a custom molding company look at my good one and they said $50,000 to tool up and then need to order 1000 of them at over $100 each. I said "nope" thanks and ran quick.

What will I need to buy, complete motor? Or will this piece seperate from it?

the solenoid is seperate and has 2 small screws that hold it onto the motor base. The RS wiper motor has a different serial number from standard camaro just to have the 2 small holes for the screws for this solenoid.
