Ry, I've done extensive work on my `08 Xterra, and many of the vids you have made available confirm, or reveal the means to make the fix happen. Great work, and thank you!

@john3532947 5 лет назад

I just picked up a used 2008 Xterra and yep...washer fluid indicator light won't go off. Added fluid the day I bought it and it miraculously disappeared! Thanks for the video...now I know how to fix it. [thumbs up!]

@brettborix3036 2 года назад

Dude! Thanks for mentioning the pump. That's the problem I was chasing and you instantly cured the migraine that was building. Cheers

@Rythecarguy 2 года назад

Glad to help dude!

@Justins1877 Год назад

Ry, thank you so much for the video. I managed to do the install without much problem. That stupid red connector, I can’t figure the thing out. I’m going to mess with it tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll get it off. Thanks for the awesome video!

@Rythecarguy Год назад

Hope it worked out for you.

Ry, you been a big help to many of us with the 2nd gen X. Can you do a video on how to change the power steering fluid and brake fluid? Thanks man.

@Rythecarguy 6 лет назад

I have the brake fluid video. Might do the PS someday. Not needed at the moment.

hello Ray good video as always. I have a 2nd generation xterra can you make a video how to replace the shift stick bushing some time in the future.

@MrLVill 6 лет назад

Great video ! My colleague jokingly suggest I use Flex Seal to coat the leak on my reservoir. LoL, and that might be a great idea!

@Rythecarguy 6 лет назад

Cant hurt!! Not like you’re going to see it.

@gpweaver Год назад

I'm thinking cleaning/sanding around the cracked area, then using epoxy to seal and hold the sides of the crack together?

@PaulHenreid 2 года назад

SuperGlue followed by melted hot glue is a good one-two punch, especially at the seam, to prevent future leaks. What is your opinion about using a two-part epoxy like JB Weld?

@jasonshermer8216 2 года назад

This is awesome! Freaking mechanic quoted me $330 to replace it all because it’s cracked. I asked if it could be repaired and he said no. Money is tight for me right now and you saved me a bundle! So thx! Do you know anything about the wiring by chance? My pup chewed through some wires under the steering column and it’s caused a host of other issues. Thx again, brother!

@Rythecarguy 2 года назад

Glad to help! Sorry but I dont know anything offhand about the wiring under the column. Other than that its important lol.

@jprince51 2 года назад

I'm here because my reservoir is cracked on my Nissan Xterra. The guys at Valvoline let me hear it when they wasted a bunch of washer fluid trying to fill it up

@victoriakleber5518 7 лет назад

Hey Ry, love the videos. I have a 2007 Xterra. I am having a problem where the windshield fluid doesnt spray on my back windshield. The nozzle appears clean. Do you have any thoughts on why or how I can figure out what is wrong? Either way thanks for helping me learn so much about my own vehicle! :)

@Rythecarguy 7 лет назад

Of course! Working on your own car is awesome right? Makes you like it more. Anyway, Can you hear the pump running when you turn on the juice? Also do the front ones work?

@victoriakleber5518 7 лет назад

Yes I can hear it, and the front ones work.

@Rythecarguy 7 лет назад

+Victoria Kleber odd, if you are sure they are clean then this would be my next step. Wait until you run your washer fluid tank almost empty, then put some water in it. Have someone get in the car and wait for your signal. Then remove the rubber hoses coming out of the pump. Water will then start pour out but thats ok. Just act fast. Tell the person to turn on the rear nozzles. If the pump sprays the water then you know that portion is good and the issue is in the line somewhere. If it does not then you know its the pump. Don't forget when you're done to run all of the water out and put regular washer fluid back in.

@nightwolf8520 6 лет назад

Is it the same thing for a Pathfinder 2000 ? There's no water coming though the windshield and I think the filter it's blocked...

@nnylareed 7 лет назад

Hi Ry my windows sometimes can't be raised or let down from the drivers panel but if I go to the actual window to lower or raise it it works fine. So local mechanic said I have to replace some kind of master controller panel. This seems pretty easy but I don't know, maybe you would go over how to take it out?

@Rythecarguy 7 лет назад

I'm sorry but I cannot. My windows are manual crank windows.

@rado925 4 года назад

Thanks Ry, really that's helped me too much, well done.

@derekbrown8390 3 года назад

On my 08 the washer is opposite the way it should be on the switch (front sprays back and back sprays front). I didn’t see 2 pumps but I did see 2 hoses (I think). Would it be safe to assume to fix my situation I would swap the hoses on the tank?

@Rythecarguy 3 года назад

Yep! Just swap the hoses. I did that when I took my tank out for the first time. Nice and easy, don't even need to remove the tank.

@j.c.4192 3 года назад

Bought an 06. When the front wipers operate, the rear washer sprays fluids. Vise versa. I am thinking it's the hoses of the pump are connected opposite.

@Rythecarguy 3 года назад

That’s correct. Just swap the hoses and you are good. Nice and easy job. You won’t even have to remove the tank.

My Xterra drivers side sprayer has a weak jet. I poked it with a needle and it still sprays weak. Possible leak downstream? Any tips and help on how to find it?

@kevinfaucheux5557 3 года назад

I have a 2012 Frontier with the same issue. I replaced the jets (Amazon had some) and it worked for a while. Now it's intermittent. If anyone has any info please share.

@RuedaLibreMotoAdventure 7 лет назад

What color are you using for this job bro?

@kevinfaucheux5557 3 года назад

Would RTV silicone or Tank Seal work for the cracks?

@Rythecarguy 3 года назад

It might! It's all pretty low pressure.

@mattchristopulos2513 6 лет назад

Can you do this without taking the tire off

@Rythecarguy 6 лет назад

Yes, its just a little tough to get the tank all the way out. The first time I did it was with the tire still on.

If u can't fix it with duct tape then your just not using enough duct tape 😂

Mine rattled for years but never leaked all that much. It is still loose and it sounds like you have a suspension rattle in your front right. More crap Nissan parts.

How do you pull off the red sensor???? The black one came off like it was nothing but the three reds are being a pain.... Please help. I have used my hands and pliers. They look like they have tabs I have pushed them down its not working.... I have a 04

Thanks, thinking about removing the tank in order to wash it out. Upon replacing both sprayer nozzles I noticed the the problem side was different and had been replaced before. Probably some gunk in there
