    but if you can't seem to see it,
    if you know how to fill up the reservoir,
    all you have to do is to follow the neck. it'll eventually end up in the reservoir tank.
    if i have to guess, it's located behind the front bumper.
    have a clean higaan ready, so's you can lie down on the ground and espy it from under the vehicle.
    thanks, I'll try to do that.

    I've been trying to look from the left front tire well and all i can see is the fender liner. Didn't occur to me to look directly from under the bumper.

    Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures.
    if i may,
    that's a terrible listing!
    whoever did it, wasn't...
    imagine #4, the "starter motor", listing the fuse at a measely 7.5 amp.
    my car's fuse listing is nicer.

    i guess you'll have to check each and every fuse...
    pull out... look... push in.
    next fuse...

    okay I just looked. The reservoir is behind the bumper below the left headlight. I think access to it requires removal of the fender liner.

    This is fast becoming something beyond my DIY skills. haha. darnit.

    ...thereon goes banawe...
    heh heh.

    i do hope it's only the fender liner that requires removal.
    in some cars kasi, the entire bumper has to be brought down, to gain access to certain parts.

    perhaps you can search google for instructions.
    that may decide whether you do it DIY, or you employ the skills of the banawe boys...

    some years back,
    they did in 15 minutes,
    what i could not do in 2 hours.

    Remove the front left tyre. (use steady jack or secondary support jack for safety)

    Remove the front clips only of the fender liner.

    If you know how to "hawi" the liner to access the thing then you don't need to remove the whole liner as they are plastics that returns to original position.

    Shine some light to get a better look of the obvious(wire harness, connectors), and maybe use a multimeter to check the coil resistance of the pump motor or the input voltage when the switch is activated.

    Thanks for the instructions! I just might give it a try!

    What I learned about changing the wiper motor is that upon changing the motor you will have to drain the reserve I mistakenly fill up my reserve with wiper fluid and ended up draining it upon replacement of the wiper motor.
