Same, mine on the van was frozen, even though its got washer fluid in it, must of mixed it with water or something! When its warmed up, then get all the water out and get washer fluid with anti freeze init. youll have to dilute it though!

if the wipers were frozen could have blown the fuse  :rolleyes: but you probably checked that already

Yeah the wipers are working normally,
They just dont activate when i pull back 2 use washers,
There is only 1 fuse for wipers isnt there, And not a seperate 1 for the washers,

hmm so the wipers and pump dont activate when you pull the stalk? if so this is pretty much only going to be a stalk issue. if you take off the stalk surround you might be able to see the washer contacts in the side of the stalks, buff up and a tweak so they make good contact may be all that is required.  I did this on my 83 cabby and problem solved, but I cant remember if mk2 stalks are the same
