• Q: How to Properly Handle the Washer Reservoir on a 2009 Ford Explorer?

  A: Vehicle service and repair of the windshield washer reservoir begins when you position it in neutral mode on a hoist. First remove the air cleaner assembly along with the splash shield on the rear side of the front fender. You should disconnect the electrical connectors of both the windshield washer pump and solvent level then read the product label cautions and obtain emergency medical help when needed. You should drain the windshield washer reservoir after removing it if required. Detach the windshield washer reservoir hoses before removing the top bolt while you must tighten it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) when reinstalling. After removing the side bolt move forward to tighten it at the same tightness standard. Replace the remaining bolt exactly and tighten it to 5 Nm (44 lb-in) when reinstalling. When servicing the windshield washer pump reservoir maintain caution to avoid damages to the windshield washer pump seal. Operations of the washer pump should be delayed until after you fill the reservoir to prevent premature pump failure. Transfer all necessary components. The process ends with a reverse application of the removal steps.
