It must be a Ford. That's a common problem. It usually means that you have an air bubble in the pump that is stuck. The bubble collapses and expands as the pressure changes. Often it is difficult to get the bubble out and the only thing you can do is put up with it. Quite a few Fords make that noise. But it doesn't mean anything bad is about to happen. It's just annoying.

Why does a 1999 ford ranger power steering pump whine even though the fluid reservoir is full?

Typical Ford


Where is the reservoir for the power steering fluid in a 1991 Ford Escort wagon?

It would be located over on the right (passenger) side of the car, and it will usually be a semi-white reservoir, with a black cap. The top of the cap should even say "power steering" on it. The only other reservoir that would be on that side of the car, would be the window washer fluid, and it would be a much larger reservoir, white, with a bluish tint because of the fluid color. It would be pretty hard to get these two confused.


Why there's no windshield fluid coming out even if I filled the reservoir?

check to see if the reservoir is sealed up air tight.. if that doesnt work check the lines follow them if you have to to check any blockage or leaks


Where does brake fluid go in a 01 jeep wrangler?

Brake fluid goes into the master brake cylinder reservoir located on the drivers side, under the hood, about even with the rear of the front tire on the drivers side, it will be opaque with a black cap, if it is up against the firewall, black with a black cap it is the clutch reservoir, dont worry if you made a mistake, they take the same fluid.


Where is the washer fluid level sensor on a Ford Windstar 2000 SEL and how to replace it?

It is on the bottom exterior of the windshield washer reservoir. You get to it by removing the front passenger tire (rim), then removing the protective wheel well covering (you need to remove about 8 small screws that hold this covering onto the wheel well). It then stares you right in the face at the bottom of the reservoir. It has a wire connected to it, and another plastic connector holding it in place. Pop off the connector. Does anybody know the science behind how this thing senses? It does not penetrate into the reservoir, and seems to be designed to sense the fluid level by non-contact with the fluid. My dash message (low fluid level) goes out when I pull the sensor from the exterior of the reservoir body (even with the wire still attached, ignition on), but the message comes back on when I re-attach the sensor to the reservoir exterior, even with the fluid level full. Good Luck to all in all mechanic-related endeavors. GK

Why does the steering pump on 1995 mercury cougar still make noise when turning even after filling reservoir?

Why would the windshield washer pump runs in your Honda crv 2005 but there is not fluid coming out?

(1) Make sure that there is washer fluid in the reservoir (2) lift the hood and have someone activate the washer pump - look at the washer fluid hoses to see if any of them are leaking or spurting fluid (3) it's possible that debris has gotten into the reservoir and plugged the sprayer nozzles (4) the pump may be defective - even though the electric motor runs the pump mechanism itself may have failed.

If You accidentally put tiny bit of transmission fluid in the brake fluid container while it was full what do you do.?

If you have used the brakes it is BAD! Your will have to at least replace the master cylinder or even the porporting valve and or ABS valve depending on year and model of vehicle the transmission fluid will damage the seals and brakes will be spongey or even worse not work. DO NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. I you have not applied the brakes it can be repaired easelly get a turkey baster or some kind of suction device to remove the fluid from reservoir (get all you can get out), fill half full with proper brake fluid DOT 4 or 5 if vehicle is 2004 or newer use DOT 5, if older you can use DOT 4. Suck out fluid again and refill to full level on reservoir.


What happens if you install front brake pads on an 07 Honda Civic without adding brake fluid?

Probably nothing. When you install new pads, you have to retract the piston some for the new, thicker pads to fit. Pushing the piston back causes the fluid to back up into the reservoir. This actually raises the fluid level. If the pads were really worn, you may even have to remove some fluid to avoid an overflow. After you are done replacing the pads, it is always good to bleed the brake system to purge any trapped air.


How does a brake fluid tester work?

Just dip it in the master cylinder fluid reservoir for 2 seconds and the tip will turn colors. The darker the color, the more contaminated the fluid. These certain testers measure the amount of copper the fluid has been contaminated with contrary to many peoples beliefs that it is testing for moisture content. This is NOT true even though brake fluid DOES absorb moisture when the container is left uncapped.
