Thank you for posting this. I had an '03 with a noisy top and opted to remove the pump entirely and drain it. Pure black awfulness came out, about 200ml worth. Refilled with Dex III as per Ford and had to top up the reservoir five times to fully bleed the lines again. It was very loud to start but once bled out it quietened down. Be aware there's no check valve on the ports; The pump will try to leak as you're trying to install it so make sure to have rags to catch the drips as you put the lines back in.
I’ve had my 03 v6 for about a year now and started having issues a couple months ago and am just now getting too it, looking forward to driving with the top down again
Thanks for the great vid! I got a 14 V6 last year and it has been a bit slow so going to change oil, run a few times and drain again I feel mine is probably black.

No problem thank you. Most cars probably won’t have had the fluid changed in their lifetime but straightforward to do yourself 👍
2006 with 147,000 miles. Battery died now top doesn't work. Going to test the 2 big relays than add fluid if necessary.
@rickcstein still plenty of life left in it after 147,000 👍 nice one
