Remove the passenger side headlight and just reach down. Unplug the connector on it. Take it out, put new one in. Reconnect the plug and your all set. Its very easy to do.

Good luck with that... I spent more time fiddling around trying to get the pump out through the headlamp than I did actually removing the liner and changing it from the back.

So, I changed the pump... Still not functioning. The pump and the wipers share the same fuse circuit, so there's nothing to check there. I now need to look for bad wiring or a bad multifunction switch. If it's that, I'm not replacing it. A simple dashboard pushbutton will do for that...

my brothers gp did this. he replaced the pump and nothing happened, so he ran a new wire from the washer pump fuse to the washer pump and now it works fine.

I have that problem too. My washer bottle pump went dead. I got used pump from Ed Morad which it is more cheapest than dealership. I use removed fender liner. Also bring bowl if you want save washer fluid for drain it out because of pump bottle remove. It was very easy job. They are snap in and plug in from the wire. It is working perfect since then. I done that in Spring. Good luck.

*edit* ummm why bring old topic back? This guy asking on October 5th. 2nd post was today? lol That's really confused. I bet he already done that.
