3. Raise and support the vehicle.
4. Reach between the front of the right front wheel house splash shield and the right front bumper support to access the outboard facing lower surface
of the combination washer reservoir/coolant reserve bottle (1).
5. Disconnect the wire harness connector (6) from the washer pump/motor unit (3).
6. Disconnect the washer hose (2) from the pump outlet nipple.
7. Grasp the top of the washer pump/motor housing and pull it firmly rearward far enough to disengage the snap fit between the motor housing and
the molded motor receptacle in the reservoir.
8. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry the inlet nipple of the washer pump out of the rubber grommet seal in the
reservoir sump. Care must be taken not to damage the reservoir.
