What precautions should be taken when handling the windshield washer reservoir and pump on 2003 Ford Explorer?

Personal injury prevention requires careful handling of the windshield washer reservoir and pump since they use methanol-based windshield washer solution which qualifies as poisonous material according to container label instructions. The windshield washer pump replacement demands careful action that protects the rubber grommet as well as reservoir fluid before pump operation to stop early equipment failure. Draining windshield washer fluid from the reservoir before removal is essential for prevention of spills and the process takes place at the bottom of the engine compartment. You should start by uninstalling the air cleaner assembly and then the RH front splash shield before following the sequence of parts removal. Fitting new widgets requires an exact reverse of the uninstallation sequence.
