Subject:Re: replacing water tank pump

The water tank is accessed through the rear storage compartment to the
left of the back seat.  Two philips screws holding a metal plate need to
be removed to gain access to the tank.  You have to unscrew the tank lid
to get to the old pump.  I found that I had to cut the old and hardened
water hose inside the tank to get the old pump out.  You can get a new
hose at most harware stores.  To get to the pump wires you have to open
the front storage compartment to the left of the rear seat (just in front
of the water tank)and lift the bottom panel out of that compartment.  You
should see the wires that go back to the water tank and pump.  You have to
pull the old pump wires in through the tank to get the pump out (or just
cut the old wires and pull the old pump out.  Hope this helps.
