  Q: How to service and repair the Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir on Lincoln MKS?

  A:

  Start repair and servicing of the Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir by securing a vehicle in neutral gear on a hoist. Start the windshield washer reservoir service by taking out the front lower Air Deflector together with the right-hand front splash shield. Detach the electrical connectors of the washer fluid sensor and the washer pump from their respective sources. The MSDS and product label warnings must be read by users while seeking professional medical guidance in case of emergencies because not following instructions may cause severe personal harm. Draining the washer reservoir fluid first together with disconnecting the washer pump hose prevents washer fluid leaks. The procedure requires removal of the washer reservoir bolt followed by tightening it to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during assembly. The two washer reservoir nuts along with the washer reservoir should be removed next while tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during installation. Operating the washer pump before adding washer fluid to the reservoir will lead to premature failure of the washer pump system. The procedure ends by following the steps in reverse direction and adding windshield washer fluid to the reservoir.
