2009 Mercury Mariner Washer Reservoir Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the windshield washer reservoir on 2009 Mercury Mariner?

  A: Placement of the vehicle on a hoist with it in NEUTRAL is necessary to start windshield washer reservoir maintenance. Unfasten the right-hand front fender splash shield before disconnecting the washer pump electrical connector. You should read all cautions on the product label thoroughly before asking for medical assistance during emergency conditions. The MSDS contains extra information which must be consulted for safety because disregarding these instructions leads to major personal harm. Danger to the connector will occur if you apply hand tools during washer pump hose installation or removal. The windshield washer reservoir emptying process protects against fluid spillage before performing the washer pump hose disconnection. You should gently pull the lock ring until it turns about ninety degrees thus allowing the hose to disengage. The installation process requires full hose seating to achieve secure lock position. Leaving the lock ring in the disassembled position can weaken its strength hence causing leaks; return the lock ring to its original installation position. Install the new reservoir by securing its bolts at 6 Nm torque (53 lb-in) after removing the two windshield washer reservoir bolts and the reservoir itself. To start the washer pump operation you must first fill the windshield washer reservoir with wiper fluid according to the removal instruction for installation.
