Put washer fluid in before you re install the battery and inner fender to check for leaks.

[@Susan100673]

Thank you. Totally mechanically challenged, but I got her done, thanks to this video. had to come back and review a few times but...... only about 2 hours out of my life, but a few dimes in my pocket.

[@1AAuto]

Congratulations on the successful repair. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@bobconsidine]

Thank you 1A Auto! Another part successfully replaced in a 2002 Avalanche. One note: be careful removing the level sensor, I didn't quite listen and pull it out straight and had to cut open the old bottle to retrieve it.

[@matthewmichael7868]

Thanks for talking the time to make the video and share it with us. Crappy place and design for such a regularly replaced part. Still not as bad as replacing a Heater Core in the older Chevys that was horribly excessive and time consuming to replace. Thanks again!

[@tsb2752]

It took a very long time...it's straight forward but time consuming and nuts to get to.

[@tomallen9978]

Thanks. I now feel comfortable that I can do it. Why in the world did they have to bury it under and behind so much? LOL!

[@davidfisher7636]

The old tank lasted me 18 years, so I can expect the new one to last till it's junked, so a once in a lifetime repair isn't so big a deal. Still, bound to take me an hour, complicated only by the number of things I have to do. Another video shows the tech removing the LF tire giving better access. I may do this.

[@thud9797]

It looks bad but really not, just did mine and it was only a cracked pump housing.

[@bailyjones6600]

Great video!!! Always use your videos for help! Word of advise... Might be a good idea to take the old tank out and determine what is leaking... Turns out our tank was good, but the rear pump cracked and was the cause of the leak and a replacement tank will not fix this. You have several points of failure (tank, hoses, two different pumps and a level sensor) Lucky for us we bought the complete unit that came with a new tank, both pumps and the sensor. Hope this helps!!!

[@DjStalin100]

Where did you get your complete assembly? Thanks

[@mrz1949]

Thank you for making this info available, not a mechanic but you guys made feel like an experienced one, saved a lot of money doing it myself, keep up the good job and thank you again

[@TheBarracuda]

thanks for this, Just finished replacing mine. be sure to replace the clip from your old bottle, it goes on the hole at 6:00 otherwise you will only be able to put in 6 of the screws.

[@1AAuto]

+Chad Shaver Thanks for the tip!

[@skeeterskier]

A big thank you from Texas; just ordered the part and shouldn't have much trouble with the install. Your vids are well done and very helpful.

[@randyseegars2640]

this was a life saver very well explained how to remove and replace wipe fluid bottle this made it easy thank great videos thank Rany seegars

[@StockDude]

Good video. Thx. If you break the fender clips and need them fast, autozone etc should carry them. Always use straight fluid or distilled water too. Hard tap water will clog lines or make your pump fail faster. I learned this a long time ago on another vehicle!

[@Treestand22]

Got to do this soon thank you for this video.Got a question wouldn't it have made this job much easier if you would have turned the steering wheel counterclockwise looks like it would have given you more room to do this.Thanks again for this video.

[@daveb2268]

I fixes my leaky washer tank with good old spray in a can rubber coating. spray from bottom up (i could see where it was leaking) and sealed it off.

[@trevorjameson3213]

now THAT is how to fix it! Great advice, now I don't have to replace the bottle, thanks!

[@Ninety5thTower23]

I didn’t think of that lol I have to see how bad mine is before I decide to do that

[@michaelowens1558]

Replacing mine after 15 years isn't bad but manufactures are known for not making things necessarily easy to repair. But it can be done with time and patience. Thanks for the great video 👍

[@1AAuto]

+Michael Owens Thanks for checking us out!

[@tonyhaliburton6838]

Good video. Replaced pretty easily. Ended up being that the pump was cracked. Tried to tape old motor. Didn't work. Bought another motor. Works fine!!

[@foundwanting1]

This is a very good tutorial. Thank you DON. for sharing.

[@raykeeton243]

After reading the comments below of patching the tank. I have to say for myself, doing all that I want a new tank to go in. And btw thank you A1auto for a great diy video.

[@davidsessoms8179]

I wish you would have shown what was leaking..These tanks are so thick it makes you wonder..I have one on my 2004 Tahoe that leaks somewhere between top and bottom because the pumps still work until about half way...In other words could it just need a repair vs replacement? Thanks, David

[@209Stretch]

Are these things prone to leak at the top? I fill mine then it starts draining to a little below the neck. Seemed like this one was filled to about the same area.

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

Your videos are always helpful. Tell Don to quit using wire clippers to pry out clips.

[@luisorozco9170]

Power tools and clip removal tool would defiantly make your guys job that much easier 🔥

[@ScottysDetailing]

Great video just what I needed👍

Hey. Don forgot to recoup the inner fender to the bumper shield.

[@JasonJavoian]

You guys rock! My tank had a crack when I bought my z71 used 5 years ago. If I forgot to tell the oil change guy about it, it would just spill right back out. Enough is enough. This swap seems doable for me. Thanks for the video - going to buy your part right now.

[@1AAuto]

+Jason J Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated www.resellerratings.com/store/1A_Auto_Parts

[@walterbeaver7541]

I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado with what they called then. The new style body. 2000 year body. It is hard to find info on my 20 year truck. But, This video is exactly what i see under my hood. It will make the work a whole lot easier. I think mine is leaking at the hose. But, I will find out where when it comes out. Many Thanks for Info.

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching our video! +Walter Beaver

[@joaniekirk]

thanks, wish it could wait till spring, but will need it all winter. Thanks

[@1AAuto]

+Joanie Kirk Thanks for watching. If any or our viewers needs to replace their blower motor resistor we carry the one shown in this video on our website. Here's a link to them goo.gl/rgmabr

[@jovanostu]

Awesome video. THANK YOU!

[@World_Tortise]

Can you do a video on replacing the rear hoses? Mine leaks from the top when I use the rear sprayer.

[@alysiacappitte1495]

thanks for explaining that the right way.

[@tomstachowski7571]

Great video! My clip that held the reservoir to the battery tray rusted and broke in half when Ii was replacing the tank. The other bolts and clips were fine. What is the part number for the clip so I can replace it?

[@LukePendergrass]

The editor couldn't just move past the amazing struggle with the clips. Give the talent a break man

[@michelleconnely4672]

This looks easy enough, but I don't have the tools. I'm a chick with long nails and I still do what I can on my vehicles. I wanna get mine out and fix it - seems easy enough to repair from the videos I've watched. Can Don come to my house and bring his tools? LOL Thanks for the great video.

[@1AAuto]

+Michelle Connely Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@jonnythekid8167]

Thank you for your videos. I changed my first one and it cracked within months, so now I'm changing it again. Can you tell me where it is pinching or compressing so it leaks? It's obviously a defect in the design and placement. Thanks!

[@aaronborman6908]

The 2 that I’ve replaced both leaked on the join that runs down the center of the bottle.

[@luisorozco9170]

I usually platic weld all joints and they’re good

[@MrJacobCastro]

Does anyone know where I can order the bolts that hold the reservoir in place? I can’t seem to find them.

[@jose38452]

muchas gracias por sus videos es n buen trabajo el que hasen uds todos gracias una vea mas con sus videos e cambiado muchas partes a mis carros y a los de mis conosidos con sus videos y en la mayoria lo hasen con herramientas manuales

[@1AAuto]

+Jose baby Budlight Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@florzellpaschal4405]

I don't know if this question has been asked, but does there have to be some type of factory reset done after reconnecting the battery or should everything go back to normal?

[@alfredoguerrero]

Would turning the wheel inside/outside help to push out the way inner fender?

[@Flop1014U]

1A Auto videos are the best. You guys have saved me TONSOF MONEY from dealership labor cost! Thank you so much!! 🫵🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@bobbymobay]

I appreciate the video but shame on Chevy for making it soooooo tedious to change and so prone to failure! Sheeesh! Gonna jump into it this weekend, tho'

[@1AAuto]

That looks enjoyable. . . . .

[@go_lanesplitter_go]

can you guys do a video on how to change the windshield washer bottle on a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer?

[@therepresentative1619]

Great video!What a pain in the ass.At least I know what I’m in for.

[@fuknames2123]

ok so I just noticed that my washer fluid was leaking, and having little knowledge of cars I'm glad to find out that it's not anything serious. Either a new bottle, or a hose will fix it up, good to know.

[@danielperry3008]

Good video,a lousy place to put it but that's what what they do

[@mikependergrass308]

Lot of trouble for a water reservoir. I may just live without it.

[@supersaiyen20]

I replace for the 04 Sierra, it's the same thing as the suburban, but it's still leaking a lot. As soon as u put water in, it just drain straight out... What could it be?

[@1AAuto]

There may be a crack in the overflow bottle, or possibly a hose with a crack or a break in it. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@MarcelloTheBandit]

Have you checked the hoses? We replaced the bottle on our 2005 Tahoe and found the hose for the front washers had just completely worn away on one spot and the hose for the rear kept disconnecting at the top of the driver side wheel well.

[@1AAuto]

Check the rubber seals around the Washer pumps and the washer hoses themselves. If either of those are cracked ripped or damaged it will leak

[@bobwatson3555]

is that tire a re-cap?

[@KeithsTVHD1]

On my to do list

[@1AAuto]

+kruff39 Sounds great!

[@unstoppablechicken]

Forgot to mention to take the clip that the bolt goes into on the battery tray ff the old one.

[@bart6094]

I love your videos! Only one question about this one though: why would you go through all that time and hassle and not replace the sensor while you're in there? My bottle isn't leaking but I get a random 'Washer Fluid Low' now and then, even though it's not low, and was thinking about replacing the sensor. Do I have to remove the bottle to get to it? I suppose it could also be the terminal. Thank you! Bart

[@1AAuto]

+Kim Bartlett You may have to remove the bottle to remove the sensor.

[@finallyfriday381]

Don over here fighting for his life

[@SombraLocs]

I have 1998 Chevy Blazer and I filled my windshield wiper fluid reservoir, then 20 to 30 minutes later I noticed it leaking out the exhaust tailpipe. What can be the cause of this?

[@1AAuto]

You may want to check the reservoir to see if there's a crack in it. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@Boss-uv3bt]

A comment was made in the video that this is the same as for the similar model years of Silverado. It is similar but not the same, and a different part as well. The pump on a Silverado is in the front, and there’s only one.

[@1AAuto]

+Nathan Nicole Beight Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com

it looks so simple but i know damn well im going to spend about 3 hours replacing this thing lol

If the washer fluid bottle has a crack in it, it should be replaced. Here's a link to them on our website. We also offer free shipping and a lifetime warranty on them. Hope this helps you out. www.1aauto.com/windshield-washer-reservoir/i/1awwr00004?KZbin&ATony&CTA%20Comment

[@dirtydonnyz]

You forgot to secure the inner fender to the bracket

[@Kasitch]

what should i do if one of the battery tray bolts strips, wont come out...

[@1AAuto]

+Nick K See if you can get a pair of Vise Grips on them to break them loose.

[@Kasitch]

1A Auto Parts I think the weld nut broke loose and is just spinning on the inside.

[@archiedavis1079]

Thanx4 the video...nice that GM has inherent flaws since the initial concept that they have NEVER even attempted to rectify....from sensors to switches and even tailgate latches.... I'll never own another GM that's not a pre-1953 and hope GM execs find themselves in the hottest parts of Hades

[@lbizzy77]

Will this work on a 2002 alavance

[@1AAuto]

+lbizzy77 Thank you for checking us out. There will be slightly different orientation on this, but the steps should be similar. 1aauto.com

[@lbizzy77]

1A Auto Parts Thanks So much your videos help out so much

[@ssmitty415]

The clips for the inner fender... Two different clips what if they break? anyone got a part number for the specific ones?

[@1AAuto]

+ssmitty415 You should be able to buy replacements from the dealer.

[@ssmitty415]

1A Auto Parts if I wanted to yes your correct, but this does not answer the question.

[@harleighcaetano9699]

yeah...the sensor still says that theres low fluid and it isn't feeding though the tubes :(

[@bikerfxds]

Those plastic clips are junk after they are removed. Impossible to get back into the holes. I just used a longer black zip tie to hold the inner fender in place.

[@SSSSongbird]

Whoever designs these cars should have to repair them to understand if the design works.

[@SheCat1964]

Can someone please guild me to a link to change the reservoir in and 06 Pontiac torrent. I have googled to death.

[@mikelane3359]

buy more clips >you will brake one .

[@khokonsiraj5606]

Think u sir

[@pestbytrade]

That is the most dry rotted tire I've seen in a long time, I hope that is to daily driver. Great video though

[@1AAuto]

+pestbytrade Thank you for your feedback!

[@lostboat3]

how too get low fluid levels from showing on gauges

[@1AAuto]

+Stan Chetco If the fliud is low, and the light isn't illuminating, it be a bad sensor. Hope this helps you out.1aauto.com

[@BarnyDaddy]

I would remove the left front wheel…

[@mistabad2672]

[@pb9832]

I'd like to smack the person in the head that designed this thing. At least you didn't have to Jack the engine out of the truck.

[@dallasward4825]

THX..BUT ILL PAY THE MECANIC...

[@rowdync]

Amazing how engineers can make something fit but not think of how to replace it. Really dumb design. My problem is either the motor or the motor gasket is leaking.

[@mrmanning911]

My bottle failed with a small leak after 18 years of service on a 2002 Avalanche with 276, 538 miles.

[@pauldavis7334]

Oh you’re leaving that one very important thing you’re gonna piss a lot of people off you must plug in some type of plug on your dash to retain power or when you turn the car on guess what you will be taking it into the dealer to have them reset your factory radio it will not work I know I’ve done this in there.

[@petestanton1945]

It's a struuuugle!

[@onecabin3530]

Bad ground hum on your mic.

[@trillis25]

If only they made a tool specifically for prying away those plastic clips.... 🙄 #sarcasm

they do...… you can by it at harbor freight www.harborfreight.com/paneltrim-removal-tool-set-6-pc-63032.html
