REMOVAL
NOTE: The washer fluid level switch can be removed from the washer reservoir without removing the reservoir from the vehicle.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Siphon the washer fluid from the washer reservoir into a clean container for reuse.
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 (5) from the washer fluid level switch unit (4).
NOTE: The pivoting float of the washer fluid level switch must be in a horizontal position within the reservoir in order to be removed. With the
reservoir empty and in an upright position, the pivoting float will orient itself to the horizontal position when the flat of the indexing notch on the
top of the switch housing is also in a horizontal position.
6. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry the barbed nipple of the washer fluid level switch out of the rubber grommet
seal in the reservoir. Care must be taken not to damage the reservoir.
7. Remove the switch and float from the reservoir.
8. Remove the rubber grommet seal from the mounting hole in the washer reservoir and discard.
