[V8] Oh, Damn: a failure

[D Morralee]

total agree this is an easy fix. 

 

a) check fuse

b) check pump connection for voltage (electrical fitting that attaches to pump )  

c) fluid level

d) no leaks in line

if the above doesn't work then continue below 

Pump is located on the engine side of reservoir at bottom

1) pull out old pump ( yes long arms are required )

2) have new pump in other hand ( so you don't lose all the fluid ) 

3) put new pump in (slides into a rubber grommet )

4) ( old pump ) now pull off outlet line 

5) attach outlet line & Electrical plug to new pump

6) fill and test .

7) you have earned a beer when complete :-)
