Windscreen Washers

[dawning 11]

My wiper washer jets at the front have stopped working

They worked for a minute when I swapped the pump over but tested both pumps and they are fine, and worked once or twice since. Also swapped the stalk on the steering column and the relay from another 205 and its still got the same problem. I think there must be a bad connection somewhere, has anyone had a similar experience?

Bad/corroded connection on the pump is very common.

 

If the wipers move when you pull back on the stalk and you've tested the pump, then that's likely the issue

Cut the wiring back up into the loom until you get to good shiny copper wire. Then splice in new wiring back to the pump. Very common problem.

Thanks!

Don't be surprised if you have to cut quite far back, sometimes it can be bad pretty much to the bulkhead.

Is the earth for this not on the earth block on the front panel by the headlights? Iv had a few problems with those blocks over the years.
