2011 Lexus ES350 with Low Fluid Sensor Windshield Washer Reservoir with Washer Pump TRQ WWA06653

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

I'm going to put some protective tape on the edges of the bumper and the fender, so that while we're handling the bumper, we're going to avoid scratching up the paint. Just repeat this with the other side. To take the front bumper off.

You don't have to have the car in the air, but it does make it easier for us to show you what we're doing. You're going to remove this 10-millimeter bolt here. There was one here, all of them right across the front: one here, here, another one here, and this one over here. I’m just going to use a 10-millimeter socket. They do have a spot in them for a Phillips head screwdriver, but the socket makes it a little bit easier.

To remove these lower splash shields, I'm going to remove the other 10-millimeter bolts. One over here. I'm going to remove these bolts here, so I'm probably going to replace these with after-market ones. They're most likely going to be 10 millimeters, like the other ones, but on this car, they're 1/4". On each side of the bumper, there's a small plastic clip. We use a flat bladed screwdriver to turn it 90 degrees to unlock it.

Then we use a plastic prying tool, like the ones you can get at 1AAuto.com to pry it out. Put that aside so we don't lose it. That's what's holding in the bumper to this fender liner. Once you remove this pin, you got to move up here, and you can pull down the fender liner. There's a hidden fastener up here. It's 10 millimeter. Also has a Phillips head screw head to it, but I'm going to use a 10-millimeter socket because it's easier. Go ahead and remove it. Repeat this for the other side. This bolt might be a little rusty underneath. I'm going to spray some rust penetrant. Take our 10-millimeter socket and remove it.

This is a one single bolt that is holding on this entire middle support that's on the top of the bumper. On both sides of this bumper, there is a screw with a rubber cap around it and a bunch of these push pins. This larger one here attaches to the headlamp assembly. It's actually broken on our vehicle, so it needs to be pushed out so the bumper can come apart. I'm going to leave this one in here because it's already broken. We're going to remove this, and then the other side I will push this pin out.

Using a Phillips head screwdriver. That feels pretty rusty, I'm going to use some rust penetrant in there. See how the top of this bumper's now loose, so it's come off of this middle bracket. It should be pinned into here on the headlight, but this part of the headlight is actually broken off. You need to push this pin out. It's going to be pretty difficult where it's like a flush mounted pin, so I'm going to take a plastic prying tool that you can get from 1AAuto.com. I'm going to push it in here. I'll try to pry up on that. It'll work, it might not work. I might just take a very small flat-headed screwdriver, and go up in here. That actually did the trick. So that will be loosen from the headlight assembly. I need to remove this screw. With all the fastener removed, the bumper should unclip from the body.

You have to give it a bit of a pull to pull off of this bracket. It snaps down to here. It's going to actually sit on top of those metal brackets on the top of the bumper, so that's okay. I'm going to do the same on this side. Just got to put your hands underneath. Get a firm tug. With it loose, you can lift the whole bumper off.

There's a 10 millimeter bolt here, holding the fender liner in. Go and remove it. So, it'll let you sneak the fender liner back a little more. Actually ... fender liners are pretty soft so I'm actually going to fold it up a little bit. There's a mounting bolt here that's holding in the washer fluid tank. There's another mounting bolt, or a nut on a stud here. And a bolt here. So here is your washer fluid pump.

So to drain this, the pump is just sitting in a rubber grommet. Basically just going to work it out of the rubber grommet and have a bucket ready 'cause this fluid.

If your washer fluid tank is not broken and is already leaked out, it's going to be filled with fluid. And as soon as you let this go, it's just going to come pouring out. Unplug the level sensor. This harness that's hanging up here. Move that out of the way.

Start with the 10 millimeter bolt that's in here. Remove this 10 millimeter bolt. Remove this 10 millimeter bolt here. Tank is going to hang on the stud. It slides right off. Lower it right out of the engine compartment. You need to remove the level sensor. You can just pry it out with a flat-bladed screwdriver. It'll pop right out. Came with a seal. You can take that off. Actually set it right back here.

To reinstall it, put it right back in. To feed the washer fluid tank, put it back up into place. Hang it on that stud there. Install the nut. Install this bolts. Install the one of the backside. Tighten them up. The one in the front. And finally the one on the stud. Take the grommet off the pump. Push the grommet in the tank. Push the pump back in.

Reconnect the level sensor. Put our harness back into place. This clips in over here. When the tank is replaced, you can fill it back up with washer fluid. Put the splash shield back down. This splash shield is held up here through here. Match these up. Started.

I'll reinstall the bumper. We'll hang it on the top brackets. This is why we put tape, so as we're moving around we don't scratch anything. This can be pushed back into the bracket now. Same for the other side. Install the push clips into headlamp.

Then these bumpers have bolts in them, Phillips head screw. Install the bolt on top of the bumper. I'm going to reinstall these plastic locks. They went in this way, and then turned. Install the self-tapping screw that's up here behind the fender liner. Reinstall the locking clip. Reinstall the self-tapping screw behind the fender liner. Reinstall the splash shield.

Slide up into the bumper. Reinstall the other half. This piece went up into here. Just reinstall whatever hardware that's original to the vehicle that you took out here. Peel off all the tape that you're using to protect the body work.
