2007 Ford Explorer Washer Reservoir Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the windshield washer reservoir on 2007 Ford Explorer?

  A: Begin windshield washer reservoir service by taking out the air cleaner assembly together with the right-hand front fender splash shield. Separate the electrical link of the windshield washer pump before moving to the solvent drop connector. After removal it may become necessary to drain the windshield washer reservoir. Twist off the hoses from the reservoir followed by the top bolt removal before setting the bolt tightness at 5 Nm (44 lb-in). Detach the side bolt before tightening it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) during the reattachment process. The final bolt removal should be followed by a 5 Nm (44 lb-in) torque when reinstalling it. Complete the installation by taking reverse actions from removal steps then transfer needed components into the windshield washer pump reservoir section. Operating the pump before filling the reservoir could lead to early pump failure so exercise safety when handling the windshield washer pump seal. Safety precautions should always be followed because windshield washer solutions have poisonous material including methanol.
