2003 Cadillac CTS Washer Reservoir Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the washer reservoir without RPO code CE4 on 2003 Cadillac CTS?

  A: You must begin by opening the hood and lifting the condenser seal to access the washer solvent container for replacement when rpo code ce4 is absent. Use a tool to remove both the washer solvent container cap and the bolt that holds the fill neck to the upper tie bar. Start by taking off both the lower air deflector and the headlamp which matches the vehicle's left-hand drive configuration for lhd or right-hand drive configuration for rhd. Move solvent out of the container while you unplug the washer hose from the Washer Pump and detach the electrical connector which holds the washer solvent container in place. Only disconnect the electrical connectors of both the Washer Pump and washer solvent level sensor before removing the fasteners securing the container. Move the clinch nut off the horizontal bracket body rail connection before lifting the container from its key hole slot position in the body rail and guiding the fill neck through the radiator support for removal from the vehicle. Place the Washer Pump together with the washer level sensor and horizontal bracket and container cap into the new container. The washer system installation requires users to attach washer components to the new container followed by filling the radiator support with the filler neck and securing the electrical harness retainer clip. Position the container over the stud on the tie bar outer reinforcement panel before fitting the clinch nut stud into the key hole slot on the body rail. Verify that the stud rests properly on the panel. Install the six nuts at positions 1, 2 and 6 and tighten them to 6 n.m (53 lb in) torque specification together with both the clinch nut and the horizontal bracket nut set to the same level. Use washer hose to link the Washer Pump to its counterpart device. Pair electrical connectors by attaching one to Washer Pump and another to washer solvent level sensor. Secure the bolt to the upper tie bar then apply torque at 6 n.m (53 lb in). Afterward replace the front bumper fascia with the headlamp assembly and lower air deflector. Position the condenser seal while filling the washer solvent container until you install the cap then close the hood.
