I'll bite...
There's a plastic "L" fitting on the reservoir, the hose from that fitting goes to the "in" port on the pump. From the "out" port of the pump the hose connects to the plastic "T" on the reservoir. There is a tiny brass pellet inside the "T" to keep water from draining back from the nozzles, make sure it's in the right position. From there, it goes to the "T" valve on the passenger's side nozzle and from there to the "L" valve on the driver's side.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

2 more things to Led's extensive description:
- the ball in the tee is an overpressure valve,draining the surplus back in the tank. Valve is often missing.
The system will also work if this drain is simply plugged.
- there are two flow check valves in the lines to the nozzles, The system will also work with only one in the main line upstream the first nozzle.Dont install these in reverse....*)
