02 2.0 Washer system - AllanN
Hi Guys
Previously you have been of great help to me and I hope this is quite simple
Last Monday when leaving work I had an anti pollution fault. I had it checked out on Tuesday and had the ECU reset - since then, no faults or warnings
On Thursday, going home, I tried to use the windscreen washer and the wipers worked fine but the screen washer didn't - neither front or back.
Looking at Haynes it would appear that the washer circuit has its own fuse, which I will check tomorrow. If the fuse is ok it would appear that the fact the washer isn't working could be down to 4 things - washer or switch fault, electrical fault, kinked/blocked pipe.
I can check the pipe to see if there is a blockage or it?s kinked but even if there was no water in the reservoir I would have expected to hear the washer pump trying to work, but ther is nothing to indiacate that it is trying
Before considering the circuit or switch, is there anyway I can manually by pass the normal circuit to test the pump?
Thanks
Allan
