How to Repair the Washer Pump for a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer

When the washer pumps fail on a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer, the first symptom you may notice is a lack of fluid coming from the washer jets when you press the spray button. Although the pumps are durable and generally last for many years, they will need repair eventually. In order to repair a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancers washer fluid pumps, the pumps must be removed from the washer fluid reservoir and replaced; the pumps themselves are sealed, non-serviceable units.

Instructions

Loosen the lug nuts on the front, passenger-side wheel with a lug nut wrench. Raise the vehicle and set it down on jack stands. Remove the lug nuts and then remove the wheel.

6

Reconnect the electrical connectors to both pumps and then reconnect the front and rear pump hoses. Remove the drain pan from underneath the vehicle.

7
