How to Remove a Windshield Washer Pump in a 2000 GMC Jimmy

The washer pumps in a 2000 GMC Jimmy are located on the outside edge of the washer fluid reservoir, next to the right-side fender. These electric pumps draw fluid from the reservoir and force it through rubber tubes that connect to the washer jet nozzles. Over time, the small motors inside these pumps wear out and fail, rendering the washer fluid system inoperable. In order to replace these pumps, the washer reservoir must be removed from the vehicle.

Instructions

Removal

1

Shut down the engine and pop open the hood. Open the washer fluid reservoir cap and draw the fluid out of the reservoir and into a bucket with a hand pump.

2

Disconnect the electrical connectors and hoses from the washer pumps near the bottom of the reservoir.

3

Remove the screw holding the reservoir to the vehicle with a ratchet and metric socket.

4

Lift up on the reservoir and remove it from the vehicle. Remove each from the reservoir by gently pulling and twisting it until it pops loose from its rubber grommet.

Installation

5

Install each new pump into the reservoir by pressing it into the rubber grommet, using a twisting motion, until it is fully seated.

6

Set the reservoir into position inside the engine compartment and reinstall its retaining screw. Torque the screw to 27 inch-pounds, using a torque wrench.

7

Reconnect the hoses and electrical connectors to both pumps.

8

Place a funnel inside the reservoir fill hole and refill the reservoir to the appropriate level, then test the pumps.
