The windshield washer tank leaked out all the fluid yesterday. So I tried to get the tank out, and turned out to be kind of involved. You have to take the battery out, and some pins from the wheel well to get it out. Anyway, I think the leak came from the pump, it had a couple of cracks on the side of it. So I need to replace both pumps, the front and rear wiper pumps.

If anyone has a parts book and can give me the part #'s for both pumps, that would be great, thanks.


Actually, another weird thing happened. When I took the truck to the dealer for the 1st time when I bought it, he said that the only service on his record was that a remote starter was installed on the truck, and was causing problems in starting. But I thought maybe it was taken out, because it didn't come with a remote for the starter.
Well, when I was connecting the battery back on, as soon as I touched the second wire to the battery, the engine turned over as if it wanted to start, so I pulled the wire away immediately. Same thing happened every time I tried to touch the wire, then I tightened it anyway.

Is this normal for the engine to start when you connect the battery? or is the remote starter still installed, and I don't know it. thanks.

 

Sounds interesting.

Reminds me when i was installing a stereo in my new $45k truck and was just putting the battery terminals back on and my wife pushed the panic button on purpose! You talk about scaring the tar out of someone. I had no idea what I had done and it is LOUD under the hood. I dont know how I survived it, the heart hasnt been the same since.

 

That's too funny biglg, must have been real scary, especially when you're concentrating on the job.
Ha ha, I have to try this one on one of my friends, thanks.

 

Yeah, my wife and sister n law were upstairs while I was doing a 6k stereo install. They just got some hair up their butt to hit the panic button. They couldnt see me nor knew where I was in the install. It just so happened I had just sat the postive power wire on the terminal and shi* went crazy. I was scared to death, thought oh no I just screwed some stuff up royal. So I take the wire off, go upstairs to share my pain with the wife about my horrible mistake I made somewhere in the install and they were just busting up laughing their azzes off. I was so pissed. We all still laugh about it to this day.
