  Q: How to service and repair the Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir and Windshield Washer Pump on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  A hoisted vehicle positioned in neutral will enable service and repair of the windshield washer pump and reservoir. The first step requires removal of both the RH front fender splash shield in addition to the RH lower splash shield when it is present on the vehicle. The service starts by disconnecting the windshield washer pump electrical connector together with the low washer fluid level sensor electrical connector and the RH fog lamp electrical connector if the system includes these components. Reading warnings from product labels together with consulting medical guidance regarding emergency procedures represents essential steps because neglecting these procedures might cause severe personal injuries. The windshield washer fluid must be drained from the reservoir before removing it while also disconnecting all washer pump hoses. First disconnect the washer reservoir using its securing fasteners and pull out the reservoir from its position. Follow the installation process by tightening fasteners until they reach 7 Nm (62 lb-in). The operation of windshield and rear window washer pumps should wait until the Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir receives its fluid to prevent premature pump failure. The installation process ends by performing the reverse order of removal while filling the windshield washer reservoir with washer fluid.
