2011 Cadillac CTS Windshield Washer Pump TRQ WWA06633

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

In this video we will be removing and installing a windshield washer fluid pump in a 2008 Cadillac CTS 4. If you need this part or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1AAuto.com.

Take these pins out. You're going to untwist them. Once they're untwisted you can pull them up. Just like that. Sometimes they don't untwist too well so you've got to pry up underneath it. You can use your fingernail or like a straight head screw driver. You're going to pull this panel up, put it aside, and then I can pull this weather strip towards the center of the vehicle to take it off. You'll do the same with this side. Pull up here and pull up there. There's a fastener right there. A clip on the back side. You can take the weather strip towards the center and this piece will come right off.

You're going to pull these little clips out with a trim tool. We sell these at 1AAuto.com. Get in underneath there. There should be another one there, but it's missing on this vehicle. Out here. Right there. I'm going to use a 10 millimeter socket and ratchet. Take these two 10 millimeter bolts out. Alright, good.

We're going to pull this push clip off. We're going to use a clip trim tool and then there's one right here we need to pull off. Pull that off. This is just a rubber shield that's attached to the bumper. We're going to leave it attached to the car on this side. Then over here we'll do the same on the other side. This one's actually ripped right here so we don't have to do that. Then, this piece over here is already out, so we're all set on this side. We're going to take these plastic push clips out. Use our trim tool again. Pull that out and we'll pull this one out. These other ones we can leave in. Those just hold this front skirt on. Pull that out. Pull this one out too.

So we're going to disconnect the fog light. There's a little clip on the back side and then a clip on the front side. If you do them somewhat together, you can pull it down. Pull the back side clip off first and then you can pull on the front side. See? Two clips. You just pull them out. I'm going to do the same for this side. Disconnect the fog light. There's this air ducting here. We're going to pull that off. Looks like it's missing from the other side. This is there to force cool air onto the breaks while you're driving.

This vehicle has headlight washers to it sprays washer fluid on the headlights. So we're going to disconnect that. We're going to use some needle nose pliers. We're going to pry this clip off. Just move it to the side a little bit. There. We're going to take a little right angle pick and get in there without stabbing yourself. Go all the way around to loosen up the hose. Like that. You can twist it off. Just going to work the hose back and forth. Then eventually come out.

All right when I pull this off, fluids going to come out so I just have this random bolt that's about the same size so I'm going to plug the hole with that. Just like that and that'll keep the fluid in there. Most of the fluid in there. Use my clip tool. Whoops. Pull these push clips off. All right. Use our trim tool. Pull this one out. I'll have a little more play with this. The 10 millimeter bolt right there we're going to take out. The process would be the same for the other side, then you can pull this off.

Pull this out over here. Grab and pull it straight forward. What I'm going to do is disconnect the electrical connector for the headlight pump. There. Then to disconnect this hose push down and you pull it out just like so. To pull the pump out you're going to pull it towards the outside of the car and then pull up. You can wiggle it back and forth a little bit and it will pull right out.

So we'll reinstall the headlight washer pump. Just line it up like that and just push it down. You can connect the connector. Just push it. Make sure it locks in place. Connect the electrical connector. Push it down to lock. We're going to reinstall the bumper. Make sure that lines up over there. Line this up over here. Line that side up like that, and you take these two 10 millimeter bolts. Put these in. You can snug these down. We're going to install this 10 millimeter bolt on the passenger side. When we're doing this, you want to make sure the body lines up with the bumper, and then snug that down. Procedure will be the same for the drivers side.

Connect the fog light connector. Line it up and then push so it locks in place. Same on the passenger side. Next we're going to reconnect our head light washer hoses. Most of our fluid leaked out but if you did this in a timely manner, you would have fluid coming out of there. Then we're going to move this clamp with some needle nose pliers back to its original location, right there. And it goes just like that. We're going to reinstall this shield. Push that push pin through up top and we'll push this one in down here, just like so. Same for the driver's side.

Next we're going to install this break cooling snorkel on the passenger's side. Our driver's side is missing. Put a push pin right, there and right there. Put a push pin there, one right here, and then one right here. All right--you're going to reinstall this liner. You're going to go up under here, and then to put the snorkel on it's just going to clip through like that. I'm going to put our push clips through there. Install these push clips right here and right here, and one right there. We're going to put our push clips in up top here.

Now we're going to reinstall this shield. I'm going to push this weather stripping on. It will go like that and same with the other side. Just like that. Now we're going to use these clips. Reinstall these retainers. And we'll reinstall this cover right here. Get that lined up. There's a little tab right there that it lines up with. Lock that down. And reinstall this over here. Make sure you go under the weather strip over here and press down.
