Windscreen motor now operating. Xkr 2001

Postby arion11 » Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:47 pm

Just got the car out for the spring. Went to use the screen washers. The windscreen wipers sweep but no water comes out of the jets. I took the pipes off the nipples the pop out of tbe scuttle and blew up the pipe and air came out out the jets on the wiper arms. I turned the lights on pressed the wasn button and the jets on the headlights shoots water. It is just the main water jets onto the front windscreen where nothing happens. I cannot hear the pump either. I think fuse 7 which is 30 amps is the one for the pump is thst right? This is in the fuse box on the left handsome in the engine compartment If not please let me know. I took this out and it is ok. Any ideas any one? on getting the water pumping onto the screen via the washer jets.

These pumps are known to fail so it's probably best to go straight to the pump which is clipped to the fluid reservoir and test for power at the connector. Mike.
