Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / June 2006Fluid Reservoir
How do you change the windshield fluid reservoir on a 1993 sentra? It seems to be embedded in the fender assembly. Thanks... From underneath? You may need to remove the wheel well splash guard to be able to see it. What normaly leaks is the washer pump motor itself. > How do you change the windshield fluid reservoir on a 1993 sentra?

My guess - hope - is that it's the plastic tank but I'll have to get it up on the ramps to check it out. BTW, have you ever changed the washer pump or have any idea of cost?

I did replace it in a 94 maxima and remember it was around 40 bucks. Have replaced several Subaru pumps and they run like 80 bucks or so, but at Advanced autoparts you can find one that fits for around 20 bucks. You may need to use the connector from the original pump, soldered to the wires of the new generic one, to avoid changing the wire harness in the car. The pump normally is held in place by an undercut in the tank and the press fit in a rubber grummet. A few use self tapping screws. For an original pump i would check www.1stnissanparts.com, Chris is great. > I filled the reservoir yesterday and the fluid just poured out.

It's been raining up here so I didn't get under the car today, but I could get my hand in under the splash guard. My wife poured some water into the tank and I could see it coming out from the connector at the bottom of the tank. Got a grip on the connector and pushed it back into the tank and the dripping stopped. I tried a little water in the tank and the windshield washer worked, so at least I know its not the motor. I can't see the connector fitting very well and don't know if just muscling it back it will hold. But so far, so good. I'll get under there someday and take a better look. I imagine that the connector is part of the pump assembly or perhaps there are fittings from the pump to the plastic connector. Do you know and can is that connector just pressure fitted into the bottom of the tank? Any more info will be useful...Thanks. > I did replace it in a 94 maxima and remember it was around 40 bucks. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > >>>to be embedded in the fender assembly.
