Steps
Remove the bumper cover
Switch off the ignition. Remove the upper and lower shroud retainers, the corner screws, and the bolts near the grille. Release the clips below each headlamp, then pull the cover forward carefully and set it on a protected surface.
Disconnect and remove the washer pump
Remove the washer hose from the pump outlet and contain any fluid that drains. Unplug the pump connector, then gently pry the pump from the reservoir grommet without damaging the tank opening.
Install the replacement pump
Press the replacement pump inlet squarely into the reservoir grommet until fully seated. Reconnect the washer hose to the outlet and plug in the electrical connector, routing both so they are not pinched by the bumper.
Reinstall the bumper and verify spray
Align the bumper cover's upper tabs, then engage its clips along the headlamps and fenders. Reinstall corner bolts and screws plus the upper and lower shields and retainers. Fill the reservoir as needed and test the washer spray for normal flow and leaks.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
