How do I disassemble the car battery? I disassembled the connectors and unsnapped the plastic housing around the battery but the battery is not moving from the car? 2001 ford windstar

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Open the deck lid and pull the trunk carpeting away from the back side of the lamp seat (3).
3. Remove the two plastic wing-nuts (2) that secure the studs of the tail lamp (4) to the lamp seat.
4. Reach below the lamp seat to locate, release and push out the two W-clips that secure the fascia bracket that is snapped onto the bottom of the
lamp housing from the body sheet metal.
5. Firmly grasp the exterior of the lamp and pull it sharply rearward far enough to unsnap the ball stud (1) from the grommet in the lamp seat.
6. Disconnect the two body wire harness connectors from the Light Emitting Diode (LED) and the bulb socket connector receptacles on the back of
the lamp housing.
7. Unsnap the upper edge of the rear fascia from the rear fascia bracket on the bottom of the lamp.
8. Rotate the top of the lamp downward to disengage the fascia bracket from under the rear fascia.
9. Remove the lamp and rear fascia bracket from the vehicle as a unit.

I had similar on 02 Highlander. Source was leak from around window trim (rust) and roof racks connector entering and going down the windshield post behind the trim. Gently remove the interior plastic trim piece to the right of the windshield to see any water coming down there. Find source, disassemble whatever is required and use good sealant like supra expert.

The lenses cover & the lenses housing snap in to place. There are plastic tabs on the sides of each.
Directions: Remove the license plate light housing, and disconnect the 2P connector from the light. Remove the lens from the light, and then replace the bulb. Install the light in the reverse order of removal.

There are a number of things that unscrew first, like the hand rest, the window knob, the plastic behind the door release, etc.
Then you unsnap plastic plugs about every 8 inches around the bottom, front, and back of the panel. The top of the door panel basically just hooks over the door, on the ledge next to the window. So you slide it up and out. They there is a plastic membrane to keep rain from soaking the panel. Then you should be able to see the window and what is wrong with it. You will probably want to disconnect the 2 bolts at the bottom, so that you can manipulate the window up and down by hand until you figure out what jammed.

Pull of plastic around door handle, if electric seat controls remove button then plastic. Then unscrew bolt at top of handle. Pry/unsnap mirror cover. Unscrew door lock knob. Unsnap/pry off clips around edge of door then pull up and wiggle off the door panel.

If the engine is the same as the 2002 Impala 3.8L engine, the problem is most likely cracked connectors where the coolant enters the engine block. There are two L-shaped plastic connectors that connect the coolant lines through the metal block attached to the tensioner arm to the engine block. Common problem and parts are available from the dealer for under $20, but takes several hours of disassembling and specific torque specs. Just replaced mine over the summer.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.CAUTION
   After disconnecting the negative battery cable, wait 2 minutes for the driver's/passenger's air bag system capacitor to discharge before attempting to do any work around the steering column or instrument
   
   
2. Remove the instrument panel by performing the following procedure:
   1. Remove the trim from the right and left door sills.
   2. Remove the trim from the right and left cowl side inner panels.
   3. Remove the steering column opening cover from the instrument panel.
   4. Remove the 2 hood latch release handle-to-instrument panel lower reinforcement screws and lower the release handle to the floor.
   5. Disconnect the driver's side air bag module wire harness connector.
   6. If equipped, disconnect the overdrive lockout switch harness connector.
   7. Do not disassemble the steering column but remove the assembly from the vehicle.
   8. From under the driver's side of the instrument panel, disconnect or remove the following items:
      • The screw from the center of the headlight/dash-to-instrument panel bulkhead wire harness connector and disconnect the connector.
      • The 2 body wire harness connectors from the 2 instrument panel wire harness connector that secure the outboard side of the instrument panel bulkhead connector.
      • The 3 wire harness connectors from the 3 junction block connector receptacles located closest to the dash panel; 1 from the body wire harness and 2 from the headlight/dash wire harness.
      • The plastic park brake release linkage rod-to-rear parking brake release handle lever. Disengage the linkage rod from the handle lever.
      • The stoplight switch connector.
      • The vacuum harness connector from the left side of the heater/air conditioning housing assembly.
   9. Remove the instrument panel center support bracket.
   10. Remove the instrument panel wire harness ground screw located on the left side of the air bag control module (ACM) mount on the floor panel transmission tunnel.

Had the same problem with my 2001 330ci. If not used frequently the pump will get waterlogged and allow fluid to seep into the motor. I was able to disassemble, clean, and rebuild my pump but I would recommend replacing it, it is not expensive at around $20-30 and easy to change.

The washer pump is inserted into a hole on the washer tank itself. It is an interference fit so it will pop out. If you have significant amount of fluid in the tank it will leak out of the hole. There should be one hose connected with a clamp and one electrical connector. I believe there may be a plastic shroud covering it which needs to be unsnapped.

Good luck!

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. 2. Open the liftgate to access and remove the two push-pins (3) that secure the rear lamp unit (1) to the side jamb (2) of the liftgate opening. 3. Pull the outboard side of the rear lamp unit rearward far enough to unsnap the two ball studs on the outboard side of the lamp housing from the two plastic grommets (6) in the quarter outer panel. 4. Pull the lamp away from the vehicle far enough to access and disengage the retainer on the body wire harness (4) from the tab on the lower lamp housing. 5. Disconnect the body wire harness connector from the pigtail wire connector (5) on the back of the lamp housing. 6. Remove the lamp from the lamp opening of the quarter outer panel.
Hope this helps.
