2003-2007 Honda Accord windshield washer pump remove & install

[@TheKcchiefs5124]

Great jobs explaining, got it done in 20min

[@oldgeekster1]

Why did you remove the whole reservoir just to replace the pump?

[@cztech2631]

I'm honestly thinking the same thing. I was thinking I would have to jack the car up, but I'm just going to drain the fluid with a siphon pump and remove the pump with the reservoir still attached. I don't want to take the reservoir out if I absolutely don't have to. It might be easier to guarantee a better fit with the reservoir out, but also if people don't own a siphon pump or don't want fluid going all over the ground the method shown is actually best for those wanting less mess and less tools. I'm just going to buy a $6.00 siphon pump and then not bother removing the entire reservoir. This should be doable without having to remove the entire reservoir.

[@tomwallace75]

It is indeed possible to replace the pump without removing the reservoir. You will still need to jack the car up, though, as you need to remove the right front wheel to gain access to the pump. I'm dealing with this issue now. In my case, a new pump still did not work. I'm not getting any voltage when I activate the pump, which I believe indicates either a fuse is bad, the wiring is damaged, or the switch inside the car is bad. I've pulled several fuses related to the wipers/pump and they all look good to me. I have not tried testing the fuses, only did visual inspection.

[@cztech2631]

@@tomwallace75 I did mine with the car on the ground just turned the wheel all the way to the left. I siphoned the fluid into a spare 1 gallon jug. I checked fuses before removing the reservoir and replaced it and all I needed was to undo some bolts. I was able to wedge my hand inside the plastic panel and remove the old pump and put a new one in. It was cramped, but I made it work without a jack and taking the wheel off. If I did it again I would take the wheel off for sure, but at the time I didn't have a floor jack to be able to do it.

@@tomwallace75Did you ever find your problem? I may have the same issue; no noise when actuating the lever; the motor is not going on, I assume it's dead, but won't know until I replace it, if that's really the problem. I have pulled fuses; no problems there. I cleaned the nozzles, then realized the pump is not working. I guess I may have a problem with wiring, could be from leaving it out of the garage, and a rat chews a wire..

[@tomwallace75]

@@jeffster7 Yes, I did find it. In my case the pump was bad, but when I checked the fuses I inadvertently placed one back into the empty slot adjacent to the correct slot. So when I replaced the pump with a new one, it still didn't work. I later rechecked the fuses against the fuse diagram in the owner's manual and realized one was in the incorrect slot. After putting it back in the correct slot the pump started working.

[@bungel657]

If your just replacing the Pump there is no need to remove the whole reservoir, I have a 2005 Accord and all's I needed to do was pop the old pump out with Flat bladed Screwdriver, then I sprayed some Silicone lube on the new Rubber Grommet and pushed it right back in, Your Done. By the way you may want to use a garden hose and flush out the Reservoir before you install the new Pump, I did.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

yes, you are right. I just took off the whole thing because I wasn't sure if the reservoir was cracked or not since I ran over a big wood. Also. I rinsed the reservoir with water check for leaks prior to putting everything back :)

[@NutzAboutBolts]

[@bungel657]

Well now I have another problem, Apparently the new pump has so much pressure then the old weak one that it has caused a Weak Spot in the rubber hose to burst, as luck would have it Honda decided to run the rubber supply line to each Nozzle Head under the Cowling instead of outside, I will need to remove the Wiper Blades and figure out how to get the Cowling off so I can get to the dam leak, Nothing Is Ever Easy.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

ouch, was that an aftermarket pump? I bought mine at the dealership and never experience this problem.

[@chato209]

@@NutzAboutBolts I have a problem once I finished installing the reservoir. When I use the reservoir it only sprays a little.. what mean is it sprays very low. Theres not a lot of pressure. I already checked for leaks and they arent any

[@tazzertime]

You might want to test the pump before you button everything up! Good video.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+electricsub True, I kinda knew the pump was good since it was brand new. :)

[@mangoman628]

best way to go about testing? if i turn the rear motor on i hear it but nothing if i turn the front one on...

[@brickwal92tt]

@@mangoman628 This doesn't mean it will work. Too many new parts are DOA!

[@shorehavenlutheran331]

I have 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid. I appreciate this video on removal and replacement of washer reservoir and pump. However, I can hear my pump when I pull the driver lever. I presume I have a clog somewhere, but the washer lines are under the coweling by the wiper blades. Can you show how to unclog nozzles as well as accessing and checking for clogs in the tubing?

[@playdafunk247]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Do 2005 Honda Accords have 2 washer pumps or 1? My front one works but the back windscreen washer isn't working.

[@jackinyoubaby]

Wouldn't you be able to take the old pump off and put the new one in without taking the reservoir off?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes that’s possible.

[@jonbui1904]

how does the pump know which widow to spray. on my 2007 . you turn it to rear wash it sprays the front. you pull the lever to wash front it sprays rear. is there two pumps or a switching valve some where?

[@shawnworrlein9112]

Thanks for posting, I think this will work for my 05 TSX

[@oxyg3n520]

Was it the same area/steps for the acura tsx? Also, did you have to remove the entire reservoir to replace the pump? It seems like it's easily accessible without taking it out. Thanks.

[@benwarburton3919]

I have two water hoses coming down to the resevoir on my tsx. I am sure one is for the front windshield and one is for the rear. Know anything about getting the right one for this?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

B W unplug one hose and turn the front sprayer and then rear to see which one works. If you still can’t figure it out, try it with the other hose. Process of elimination :) I hope that helps.

[@derekrowlands1189]

Great video thank you, can you tell me the capacity of the washer bottle?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

That I'm not too sure...

[@MrTX2022]

Today I was refilling my windshield wiper fluid and noticed it was dripping fluid as i was filling it. I wonder if there is a hole or a bad pump.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

+NO Y one way to find out is to remove it. I ran over a wood block and it damaged my pump. I initially thought it was the reservoir but the plastic was a hard plastic which is hard to damage. I would remove it and check it out since if you buy the parts, it's non refundable because it's special order.

[@MrTX2022]

NutzAboutBolts Will do thanks!

[@SimmeringPotpourri]

Excellent job. Very helpful.

[@evensduclair1700]

Hey thank you so much for this video. The step by step really worked

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Evens Duclair nice, glad it helped you :)

[@CodeMagiic1]

same process for 09 honda accord euro??

[@tuckerdelay9656]

Thanks for the video

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Glad it was helpful

[@DanSuolo]

if it's just a simple matter of pulling the pump out of the skirt why go through all the trouble and pull out the reservoir? I don't understand please explain?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

oh, I pulled it out because I wanted to make sure the reservoir wasn't cracked on the bottom. But you can remove the pump just like that in there. Just remove the 10mm bolts from the side.

[@YogeshSahu-yn7jt]

From where I can get a new/old Windscreen washer pump in UK for my Honda Accord car, its as 2004 Make

[@jennychickie83]

Do I have to replace the grommet? does it come with the pump?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

If the grommet is ok, then I wouldn’t replace it. The grommet is sold separately.

[@jennychickie83]

@@NutzAboutBolts ok great! Thank you :)

[@russellgibson5013]

What a pain in the behind for just replacing a windshield water pump.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

yeah but you don't have to pull the whole reservoir out if its just the pump. I pulled it out to inspect to make sure the reservoir isn't cracked.

[@russellgibson5013]

Would I get to the pump the same way For a Hyundai Accent 2000 I could not find a video for that ? Thanks for getting back to me.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Russell Gibson that I'm not too sure of the set up...

[@russellgibson5013]

Thank you anyway

[@popemarcusvii]

The clips that you removed - are they reusable or do i have to go buy new clips?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

popemarcusvii they're reuusable, if you happen to break 1 of them like I did, they cost about 1.50$ a piece I think.

[@rustamgindullin2360]

Hey, Do I have to remove the reservoir in order to replace the pump?/

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Rustam Gindullin no, if you have room at the bottom, use a screw driver to pry out the pump, the pump is held on by the rubber grommet.

[@markgordon4524]

I did this repair on my 06 accord sedan. Did not take out the reservoir. Just remove the pump put the new one one. I am not sure why he removed the entire tank... but if you have a damaged tank this is a good video on how to replace.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Mark Gordon Yeah, you don't have to remove the whole reservoir to replace the pump. I removed the reservoir to inspect if my tank was damaged or not since I ran over a big wood... lol

great video it helped me a lot, thanks.

Angel Pool bought it online from the dealership for cheap and then they ship it to the dealership for pickup.
