Jeep JK washer fluid pump strainer replacement (leak at pump only when temp is below freezing)

[@stephensubber1849]

Hey Eric-Thanks so much for posting this. Our 18 JKU dumped the washer fluid when it was -5F. I just happened to see this first, and the filter WAS fully cracked. Used the BMW replacement and it seems to work now (though NOT currently below 0). A big help! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌

Glad it helped you find and fix the issue!

Thanks for posting that. I took it to the dealership where I bought my Jeep and they told me that the reservoir was cracked and they could do it but it would cost me $500. The reservoir was not cracked I did it myself after watching your video.

Crazy that they wanted to replace the reservoir when it could have (and seems like it was), just a bad grommet / gasket. Happy to hear that it worked out!

Thanks for posting this! I recently had this same problem after my Jeep was sitting outside for a few hours in -15F temps. I was able to get the BMW replacement through my local auto parts store for about $6. It looks like it will fit better than the Mopar brand!

Nice, got to like those cheap fixes! If you have a way to empty the remaining washer fluid before pulling out the pump, it’ll reduce your clean up time a little.

Which local store? Thanks

Thank you so much for making this video!!!!!!!!!

[@EricCantin]

[@NANKEL1]

Quick update RHD little tight but 10 minutes just clean and refit

[@bassyakker]

Just replaced the strainer and its still leaking slowly. I need the part that the strainer fits into. Anyone have that part number?

[@make62]

Have you changed the washer reservoir? Without removing the ABS unit

[@EricCantin]

I didn’t have to physically remove the reservoir to change the pump grommet. Is your reservoir leaking elsewhere?

[@make62]

@@EricCantin Yes, especially in winter when using antifreeze

[@EricCantin]

Leaks only when cold? Did you check at the pump as per my video? That’s where most leak when weather drops.

[@Spider-Bean]

Just noticed mines had small puddles of it too. What year is yours? I have a 17 JKU and am about to replace as well.

[@EricCantin]

Our 2012 and 2013 both leaked badly during the really cold winter weather. Is yours wet around the pump?

[@Spider-Bean]

It looks like what the video has shown. I’m not ice just small puddles, but will fix when off work
