Re: Malfunction Windscreen Washer
Ok, step by step...
1) first check for water in the wiper tank.
2) check if the pump is working. Ask someone to activate the pump and you put your ear near the pump and listen for winding sound.
If above are in-line, then
3) check hoses are not kinked
4) check the spray outlet (on bonnet) are not blocked by hardened wax/polish
If above are still ok, then
5) check the wiperspray fuse which is hidden inside the glovebox (not in the engine bay). You should have the fuse listing which tells you where is the wiperspray fuse location.
If the fuse is not blown, then
6) Take out your water pump and check for resistance between the +/- terminals by a voltage/resistance meter. The resistance reading should be 0.xx and not 1. When you see 1, means short circuited.
Sometimes, the motor coil will burn out and thus reduces the power. If all else fails to pin-point the problem, try changing the pump with a new one.
Happy trouble shooting!
