Washer Jet problem
« on: 29 January 2004, 10:47 »
Washer jets stopped working this morning.. Its not blocked or frozen, i checked...

When i trigger it the wipers dont go either.. Is there a fuse or relay for this?

The wipers work fine normally.

Thanks

Dan

I get this problem in the cold on mine, including no wipers!- chances are its a frozen pipe, pump, or any other part. Run the car, get the engine warm, then let it try and melt whatever causes the blockage. Always works for me
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

The car was run this morning and they worked fine but died half way to work.

I think the fuse might have blown but i dont know which one it is! (no cover of fuse box)

its fuse number 11 (15A) and there is a wiper relay too.

check these first if you can't hear the washer motor working.

does the washer work when the wipers are in position 1 or 2? if yes, then check the switch contacts at the steering wheel too.

finally put a test lamp in the green/red wire connector that goes into the pump and earth it to a reliable point. if ok, it is either the pump or check for a bad earth at the earthing rose near the o/s headlamp.

good luck
