2004 Lincoln Aviator Washer Reservoir Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the windshield washer reservoir and pump on 2004 Lincoln Aviator?

  A: The first step for windshield washer pump and reservoir service consists of observing safety warnings about windshield washer solution which contains the poisonous chemical methanol. Maintain a NEUTRAL gear setting and secure the car on a hoist before starting fluid evacuation from the windshield washer reservoir. Drain the washer reservoir fluid to stop spills thus enabling a safe service. The washer pump removal process can be done without performing or handling the air cleaner assembly and RF splash shield sections. The work requires beginning with separate removal of air cleaner assembly then RF splash shield which needs screw and pin-type retainer disassembly first. The components should be removed step-by-step. Install the new windshield washer pump with care toward the rubber grommet and wait to run the pump until the reservoir is full to protect against premature pump failure. The reverse steps from the removal process should be followed to finish the installation.
