Window washers
« 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?

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 ;)
