2006 Ford Explorer Washer Reservoir Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the windshield washer reservoir on 2006 Ford Explorer?

  A: You need to start servicing and repairing the windshield washer reservoir by taking out both the air cleaner assembly and right-hand front fender splash shield. One should disconnect both the windshield washer pump electrical connector together with the windshield washer solvent level electrical connector. Drivers with a 4.6L engine need to take out the accumulator-to-bracket nut to separate the accumulator from its place. Of the four-liter engine vehicles implement the following procedures: First separate the radiator grille from its three support pin retainers and move the radiator air deflectors in front position to extract the retaining nut and set the accumulator aside. After taking the windshield washer reservoir off you should drain it before disconnecting each washer reservoir hose. Begin by unfastening the top bolt before securing it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) and moving on to the side bolt which should be tightened to 5 Nm (44 lb-in). Remove the last bolt by first tightening it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in). The installation ends by removing the windshield washer pump reservoir and transferring components before following the opposite order for the removal procedure. Safety rules should be followed when dealing with windshield washer solution since methanol inside poses poisoning risks.
