Help - washers not working, but pump ok?
Discussion
1992 1.6 SE with ABS
Since collecting the car, the washer jets haven’t worked. I thought it was the pump as I couldn’t hear it operating so ordered a replacement.
Today I was able to get to the pump located inside the front wing and found the pump. The connector on the one I bought was different, so while it was out I hooked it up to the battery just to make sure it was dead. Damn thing worked, so it’s not the pump.
Water poured out of the tank, so that wasn’t blocked either. Checked the fuses, even though I know the wipers and pump are on the same one, all good
So now I’m at a loss, any suggestions for what’s next? I guess it could be the switch on the stalk, but no idea how to test that, or it could be a wiring issue, although all that looks standard and not been played around with.
My next stop is to get it to an auto electrician - anything else I can check?
