2008 Lincoln MKZ Washer Reservoir Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the windshield washer reservoir on 2008 Lincoln MKZ?

  A: Vehicle maintenance of the windshield washer reservoir starts by using a hoist to position the vehicle into neutral gear. You must start your work by removing the right-hand front fender splash shield then disconnecting the windshield washer pump electrical connector. The cautionary product label information demands reading because improper use based on the instructions can result in severe personal injuries so seek emergency medical help if required. Before removing the windshield washer reservoir users must drain its fluid content while disconnecting the pumping operations from the hose. After removing the bolt at the windshield washer reservoir filler neck position reinstall it at 7 Nm (62 lb.in) torque. Take out the fasteners securing the windshield washer reservoir before removing it while tightening at 7 Nm (62 lb-in) for reinstallation. Failure of the pump often occurs when running the windshield washer pump without filling the reservoir first. The last step includes filling the windshield washer reservoir with windshield washer fluid after reversing the removal process.
