Re: [xj-s] 1/4'' tubing hanging, behind the passenger rear wheel

Can't help with the lack of power, Denis.  But the pipe coming out the boot
is almost certainly the water drain from the antenna motor.  If you have
something suspicious coming out if it, do a similar job to that motor as you
did to the wiper just to make sure.
