      Also, are you able to post something to remove the wheel arc of an ASX 2017 (or later) to disconnect the washer fluid warning on the dashboard? I just want to disconnect the sensor in the water container I don't care if I don't have warning as long as I don't see that warning in the dashboard even if my water container is full. Thanks

    In my 55+ years of owning vehicles and driving I've never had a pump go bad. I've had hoses and connectors break (I keep my cars a lonnnng time) I've had nozzles get clogged or break off. Easy fixes.
    Keep making videos . . . Will help a lot of people.

    • @BudgetMechanicHawaii

      Probably because you are conscientious about keeping your fluid topped up. Motors burn out a lot when people let fluid get too low and it sucks the junk and coagulated fluid in

    I fix my windshield washer by taking my vehicle to the car wash and spraying each nozzle with high pressure water. The results were an immediate success. Sure am glad that I did not have to take it to the dealer due to the hoses from the washer reservoir being under a cowling that would have to be removed. Saved me many bucks!
