Title: Window washers
Post by: Haribo! on 07 March 2009, 15:07

Got a problem with me window washers, bought the car a month ago and it had the rear washer tube blocked off and re-routed to the front, I asked the garage why and they said it was because it needed a new washer stalk to make it work, So I replaced it and put all the tubes where they should be and the problem persists.

I currently have the rear working fine but the front doesnt even try, if its not the stalk then what could it be? The moter?

new motor, sounds like it's only working in one direction

The way the motor pumps front/back is just by reversing the polarity on the motor. Just put a couple of bridge wires between the batt +ve and -ve to the two terminals on the motor, then try it the other way.

Do a search, this question comes up a lot ;)
