2001 Ford Explorer Washer Pump Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the windshield washer pump on 2001 Ford Explorer?

  A: A technician should disconnect the windshield washer hose from the pump before servicing and repair by draining the windshield washer reservoir to prevent fluid spillage. Service the engine coolant overflow reservoir by disconnecting its coolant overflow hose and using a plug on the outlet. Proceed to disconnect both the electrical connector for the windshield washer reservoir pump along with the low-level washer fluid electronic sensor connector when available. The procedure begins by removing engine air cleaner followed by untightening two screws and two nuts around the windshield washer reservoir before extracting the windshield washer pump with caution towards preserving the rubber grommet. Installation requires following the removal steps backward whilst making separate replacements for the windshield washer reservoir and pump and fluid level sensor units.
