i own a 2008 Ford Ranger Xl 2.3 liter, i recently bought it and the windshield pump doesn’t work the reservoir is still full of new windshield clean from the previous owner I checked the fuse and replaced them but it still ain’t working.
The mechanic wants to charge 320 to fix it, any ideas?
Yeah. Four bolts and a new pump...pull yours out (gently) and push the new one in.
I don't think it would be much different than my 2003 process, but here are pages from my manual.
The OEM Motorcraft pump costs like 25 on Amazon, but you can get cheaper brands from local parts shop. My heater box is directly aft of these reservoirs. It's tight but accessible.
There will be a little rubber "screen grommet" that acts as a filter to keep big stuffs out of the pump AND as a sleeve to fit it in tight and seal against leaks. Use it!
