- If you notice washer fluid leaking or if you are running out of fluid quickly, the pump is likely the failure.

Crack and leak developed after 6 yrs of ownership.
Replacement part was $10.
Your tutorial free.
Thanks for the savings
Dont forget the cost of time and feeling proud.
Tips for noobs (like myself). Clips (to remove the fender) do not have to be damaged and you can reuse. Take a flat phillip screwdriver and insert between the center piece and the the ring (think of the clip as made up of two parts). Corkscrew it with the phillips until the the center piece pops out and then the entire clip comes off easy. To reinsert, you have to make sure that there is a space between them (as when they were removed with the help of the flat phillip) and stick it back in and push the center piece to lock it.
Also, there are the two hoses (from car) to the apparatus and then the top of the fluid pump (I don't know how to reference it). In the video he mentioned 1 of the 2 locking mechanism for the top part. But he discussed how to separate the thing from the car. For the top part to be separated from the "electrical top thingy", there is another locking mechanism and you can use a "hose grip plier" to separate the apparatus from it. This task is almost impossible without it, requires a lot of pressure to disengage. You can purchase at harbor freight for 3 of them for about $14.99. I had to fix my abs brakes so I had this handy. I'm a first time Kia Sedona 2016 owner and stuff like this was kind of unheard of, so I was very surprised and wasted 2 jugs of the windshield washer fluids before scratching my head. I didn't see any leaks on the ground so I didn't connect. I thought maybe I forgot a few times to put the washer fluid in until I really remembered that I did put it in. Found out this is a common kia problem. Ugh!
Just used this to fix mine. Didn’t even have to take the wheel off. Part was only 50$. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for the video. I found that you can lever/ pull out the pump assembly, then detach from old /reattach from the new one, the pump wiring connector. Somewhat easier as you can pull it closer to see it.
Thanks for the video. Replaced mine today. Same crack on the white piece.
Good deal! It's too bad they fail, I'm keeping my original pump in case this cracks again. I may try and fix it somehow if there is a next time.
looks like I have the same problem, thanks for the tutorial, might try to epoxy mine and see how it holds up.
thank you for the video!!!
My pleasure!
What if the pump is working, but water doesn't come out from the hose disconnected? maybe the hose clog? Reservoir is full.
Often the pump itself cracks but you could check if it is simply the hose coming off. The full replacement is about $30 or so and readily available.
I change my water pump but instead of 2 hoses I have 3 and it doesn't work on my rear wiper help!! :c
Thanks!
You are welcome!
It would have been nice to see the actual process.
How long did the whole process take you??
Probably about 30-45 minutes. Now that I've done it, it would probably be about 20-30.
I'm a noob. Took me 2.5 hours.
