2012 - 2016 honda crv windshield washer pump

[@bp6877]

Well...three minutes in, and you've already persuaded me that this is a job for the dealership to handle! Thanks.

[@rgcannon79]

Thank you very much for this video. My washer stopped working and the shop wanted $250 to replace it. That was after $145 "diagnostics" charge. Got the replacement from autozone for $36 and took less than an hour to replace. Most of that time was getting the wheel off. Again thanks.

[@themechanic6117]

Great job. Easy job and good money saved 👍

[@danielpontbriand3697]

Just finished the job. I replaced the pump and reservoir tank for exactly the same reason as the video, a right front end fender bender. The plastic scrivets were a pain the remove. Luckily, I bought a collection of the them of different sizes including the removal tool. I bought the reservoir tank from Amazon that included the pump and tubing. The whole project took about two hours. Thanks for the great video..

[@themechanic6117]

Glad you got it done. You're welcome and thanks for watching.

[@Kiskassklan]

How did you get the tank out? I have a 2015 and its been in a wreck and is leaking up high somewhere.

[@lloydmorrison5979]

WOW. You the MAN!! Thanks so much for sharing this video. The dealer wanted $500.00 to replace the water tank. The front bumper and headlight assembly has to come off to get to the tank, but this short cut will allow me to repair the leak instead.

[@themechanic6117]

Hope you get your problem fixed

[@davidkardatzke1340]

This video was spot on! Great job. Getting the pump out of the tank was the most difficult part. It took more pressure than expected. Same for the insertion of the new pump. The same part was $30 at my AutoZone. Thanks again.

[@themechanic6117]

Glad the video helped you

[@heatherstrattonwilliams8276]

Thanks! Your video showed me this is beyond our DIY abilities!

[@Kiskassklan]

Great video! Thank you so much! I bought a rebuilt 2015 CRV with a few things that still needed fixing. It wasn't pumping fluid so I figured it was just empty so I poured half a bottle of fluid in and it all hit the garage floor. So evidently it's either busted motor or loose hose.

[@yaszerboy42]

Big help bro. I just pop the pump back coz it got disconnected. But thanks for a very detailed explanation

[@AlfredoMartinez-uo2ww]

I got the job done with the help of this video. I appreciate your work!

[@themechanic6117]

Glad the video helped you

As a Metal / Rock connoisseur... it's embarrassing to say that I got close to tapping my foot with the music! Great video production as always! Still waiting for the "How-To shoot & edit with just a phone" video! =)

Thomas EXOVCDS lol time to put on your tap dancing shoes. I haven't forgotten about that video .every time I think of making a video of making a video it makes my brain hurt 😂

This video was a godsend. A million blessings on u

[@brettfrancis6971]

Seems straight forward and understandable. Thanks for the insights.

[@themechanic6117]

Thanks for watching

[@ntleaver29]

I fixed mine today, i thought maybe the fuse - No. Then i thought maybe the pump...... Before i started to undo the wheel arch i checked under the bonnet ( hood for you Americans 😊) and found that the pipe had come apart just before the nearest washer to the washer bottle. Pushed it together and hey presto ! Done ! ✔ 👍 👌 😊

[@themechanic6117]

Nice easy fix!

[@ntleaver29]

@@themechanic6117 yes ! Phew!! ☺☺

[@rudy2ndjr]

Thanks for the video, mine had hose detached from were ever it goes. You have any idea? To the hood or wipers? Hood was replaced but i dont see were to conect it.

[@ncooty]

Thank you. Very helpful. This is almost the exact issue I have (though I also have to replace the reservoir).

[@PhatBoyiee]

Great video thank you. Question i hear the pump working just no water comes out. I checked the lines at the windshield and they were clogged. I put mine back together and i hear it it just does not shoot fluid. Any ideas as to what else I can check?

[@themechanic6117]

Is it really cold where you are? If there was water in the tank it may be frozen

[@PhatBoyiee]

@@themechanic6117 I live in Texas and we barely get any cold weather. I think the tank lid broke and was partially on and debris made its way in. When i press the wiper arm i hear the pump trying to push water just no water comes out.

[@themechanic6117]

Ok. Id start at the pump. Take the hose off it right at the pump and press the button to see if fluid comes out. If it does then you know you have a clog somewhere in the lines

[@preetk2104]

Thanks for sharing so in my case I can hear the pump start, but no water is coming out. So it couldn’t be the fuse or anything, right?

[@themechanic6117]

That's right, make sure the hose isn't restricted or broken

[@wesleyhagedorn9796]

Very nice job, thank you

[@basicsyphilis8]

Extremely helpful

[@themechanic6117]

[@thespecialist786]

Can you please tell me what sets the washer liquid low warning? Is that from the pump or another sensor? I am getting false warning signs on the dash even where the washer is full.

[@jessiestaana8576]

Where can i find the washer fluid level sensoron this 2016 crv?

[@DCinBmore75]

Thank you sooooo much for this!!!!!

[@themechanic6117]

Thanks for watching

[@nunyab8003]

Very helpful!

[@jameshealy5567]

I’m not getting the any fluid dispensing but I can hear it trying to dispense. Does this mean it’s likely a clog as opposed to a circuit/electrical issue?

[@themechanic6117]

If it's cold where you are it's probably frozen

[@davidg8032]

The two Honda dealers I just spoke to want $350.00 to replace the pump! Even though this is a DYI job, I still I wouldn't mind paying someone $200.00 to do it. But $350.00 is absurd!

[@SteveRobReviews]

It seems the dealer is not the first choice in replacement parts. I have noticed a lot of dealer parts not available. Nice fix buddy.

[@themechanic6117]

Not available and they cost more is not a good mix, I'm willing to pay more for a quality part but not having it in stock really sucks.

[@AndyWallace-fq4qq]

Very useful but I’m too old for all that grubbing about under the wheel arch. Garage here I come!

[@joelheffelfinger2253]

Are there two pumps for the front and rear wipers.

[@themechanic6117]

If I remember correctly there's just one pump

[@Abbu4747]

Thank you for the video I have a question I have 2015 CRV the windshield washer fluid is not working before i do what you just did in the video do you know which fuse should i check first

[@timbui5556]

Great instruction!

[@themechanic6117]

Thanks for watching

[@chrisbaker9439]

Honda makes good cars, but Toyotas so much easier to repair something like this. It's worse than working on a Dodge. Toyota, windshield motors easy to get to and replace. It's like Honda corroborated with Dodge on where to put this. Insane. Rav 4, much easier repairs.

[@s2syed]

So I'm not seeing any fluid coming out of the front windshield nozzles either. However, the rear windshield nozzle sprays just fine. Where should I start checking?

[@themechanic6117]

Same thing I did in this video. Put a test light on the connector for the pump. If you have power there then replace the pump

[@MarcusJSmith]

Great video

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you

[@jerrydagna2584]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! WELL DONE! KUDOS!

[@franchescapacheco7636]

I randomly started having issues with my windshield wipers I have a Honda crv 2010 I just got this car so I don’t know much about it , anyway two or three days ago I got a signal on my dash telling me I was getting low on fluid , I ended up filling it two days ago with this fluid my mom made (bought a tablet & mixed it with tap water ) and then since then I haven’t had any flow . I did see Liquid sitting in the area of the shooters but no actual flow . Today I filled it even more with windshield fluid & still got nothing I am not hearing any noise when trying to get fluid , nothing on my rear and nothing in the front . It is very very cold so there could be a frozen pump or line but i don’t know :((

[@themechanic6117]

I've never heard of dissolving something into water to make windshield fluid. That's probably what damaged the pump.

[@wyattoneable]

As usual you produced another great video.

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you 👍 it's nice to get a easy job here n there lol

[@JazzyIndigoBlues]

Ok! My situation was a lady pushed a shopping cart in my front right side, I was parked at a complete stop, she was exiting a store and I wittiness it, get out of my car, she is apologizing, I inspected for damages, it was a slight nothing visible, we exchanged numbers. I never took my car for a damage inspection, I can’t remember thinking the issues were related , now, I’m tired of cleaning windows due to the reservoir damaged. I was noticing my window shield would get cleaned to a crystal clean, even using my windshield fluid, but they worked. A detail shop couldn’t get the oily haze off and several car washed and sprayed washing was difficult to remove this slight distracting film. I eventually stated to hand wash the windows with clean cloths and it helped. One day I turned on my window washers and attempted to get the thing to pump washer fluid on the window, nothing came out, I’d assumed it were empty, this was the first time I’d ever had any vehicle on empty washer fluid. I only had jiffy lube doing my oil changes and I started wondering if they accidentally put some oily substance in my washer fluid reservoir, I could figure out why a oily mask on front windshield except something happened. I go to a different jiffy lube and I don’t mention any problems, assuming they would just fill the tank. They inform me about holes in my washers fluid tank. I will be seeing a body shop tomorrow to determine what going on with my fluid reservoir tank. The guy doesn’t want to assume any diagnosis I was told until he inspects the entire unit apparatus. I alway only thought in terms of tank replacement and inside I’m freaking out regarding cost ect, especially when he mention it could be a pump issue😢 Thank you and the commenters for the information because I just recently had to shell out money for registration and smog inspection. I’ve learned to always get a vehicle inspection after someone has hit your car, I don’t know if it’s damage from pot holes or the lady shopping cart impact. She pushed that cart really hard into my car. I’m having issues with battery, been replaced twice in the last 6 months, she hit my car over a year ago.

[@lenbata]

Is there a reservoir in the rear?

[@themechanic6117]

No. This one feeds both

[@drewfink9338]

Well done:)

[@themechanic6117]

Thank you

[@richmarcone5922]

Great video. I have a leaking reservoir somewhere near the bottom of the reservoir, 2015 CRV. Any fluid I add just leaks out immediately. Could the reservoir be replaced by just removing the body parts you removed in the video? A video I saw for an older CRV, I think it was a 2013, the front facia and bottom pan had to be removed. This was much more involved.

[@themechanic6117]

Im not sure about your car. Some can be removed from the wheel well , other you need to remove the bumper cover

[@richmarcone5922]

@@themechanic6117 Thanks for the quick response. Hi again. My crv is the same generation as the one you replaced the pump in the video. I dont know if you noticed if you would have been able to remove the entire reservoir if you had to in that vehicle with just removing the inner wheel well.

[@themechanic6117]

I cant remember but just by re watching the video it looks like you're able to remove it from inside the wheel well.

[@richmarcone5922]

@@themechanic6117 Thanks again...I should have realized by the age of some of those posts it would be difficult to remember. I wouldn't remember if I did it last week. I will let you know when try the repair

[@danielpontbriand3697]

I followed the video, removed the right wheel and pulled back the inside fender using a bungee cord to keep it away from the work area. I also unsnapped the front bumper removing some of the scrivets and was able to make enough room between the front bumper and the tank to access the three 10 mm bolts that hold the tank in place. It was pretty easy after that.

Anyone have a video on how to replace the rear wiper pump?

[@themechanic6117]

I'm not sure where that is located .I wonder if this one pump does the front and rear?? Not sure

[@AmandaMae0926]

The mech a nic there are two pumps, on for the front and one for the rear. I replaced the front one and then months later the rear one went. I bought the replacement pump but looking for help on how to install.

[@themechanic6117]

I wish I had a video on it but that customer hasn't had an issue with the rear pump. Sorry I can't help. If you search online long enough you should be able to find how to do it.

[@tousshong9438]

Can you tell me what the problem is if the no washer fluids goes to the front windshield but it dose spray to the back of the vehicle? My HR-V was recently in a wreck and they replaced the whole washer bottle. I check where the hose connected to the washer bottle/pumps leading to the front windshield and no fluid coming from the bottle.

[@themechanic6117]

Check your fuses and check to see you get power to the pump when you try to spray the front windshield just how I checked the power in the video.

[@ninez5988]

Got it for 15 at Napa

[@MishaMazor]

No need to remove the wheel, can reach pump without all that work

[@themechanic6117]

I'm recording a video, if the wheel off the car helps then I'll do it. If someone is trying to diy this problem I'd also recommend removing the wheel because it makes the job easier.

Nice fix!

Dealer charges $350. Screw that, I’ll do it myself!!!!!

[@NDej]

I have a 2016 CRV Suv. Looks like a mouse chewed the washer hose from the pump to the spot where it comes through up by the hood hinge. Any one know how to get to the hose under the hinge area? I need to splice it somewhere. But I can't see it

[@tousshong9438]

Have you figure how to replace the old hose with the new one? I believe it is the same process, removing the fender liner and the upper plastic cover by the upper wheel to gain access to the hose.

I had an awful noise on the passenger side- Then I got a divorce.

[@johncavaleri6912]

Honda has a bulletin for 2012 and 2013 models about the right fog light mounting flange. It has you cut out a small piece of that mounting flange to prevent damage to the washer assembly from a slight collision. I do not have the complete instructions. For those that do not know, www.alldata.com/en is a good (not free) resource if you do your own repairs/want comprehensive access to your vehicle's maintenance data.

I disliked your video because you didn’t label that you’re just replacing the washer pump. I’m looking for more trouble shooting videos , I replaced pump and fuse and still not working

[@themechanic6117]

Simple troubleshooting is connecting a test light to the harness and see if you have power making it to the pump. Then you can continue to diagnose the problem without throwing unnecessary parts at the car. It doesn't matter to me if you disliked the video. Obviously the video isn't for everyone's particular problem
