Steps
Remove the bumper cover
Remove the air-collector bolts and clips, then release the corner screws and lower retainers. Disconnect fog-lamp plugs if fitted, release the side tabs, and move the cover safely aside.
Remove the old washer pump
Unplug the pump and disconnect its hose over a drain pan. Release the locking tab and pull the pump from the reservoir, allowing remaining fluid to drain.
Install the new pump
Press the pump inlet into the reservoir seal until its lock engages. Reconnect the hose and electrical plug, then refill the reservoir with washer fluid.
Reinstall the bumper and test
Seat the cover under the headlights and in the fender tabs. Reconnect fog lamps and air ducts, reinstall all fasteners, and verify washer spray and lamp operation.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
