On my 03 doblo there's no water coming from front or rear washers . I've checked fuses under steering wheel and they're fine.when I pull the wiper lever there's no buzzing sound . Please help
 
I think the wipers should activate after a second or two, even if there is no water. If they don't, I would think the switch could be at fault.

On mine, I pull the lever to activate the washers and twist to activate the rear wash/wipe.

If it's the motor, I would be looking to get a second hand unit from a breaker. But if you do remove the pump, test it with a battery first. They do burn out as the rubber seals break down and allow water to ingress the motors electrics.
 
The wipers are working fine just no water (screenwash) when you pull or twist lever.when I pull after a 2-3sec delay the wipers come on no water and no buzz sound when the water should come out
 
Hi,

try and get the connector block off the pump, and test for 12V to it..,

the motors CAN be fussy.. and bung up with crud easily..,

Thanks for your answer mate but where is this pump situated. I assume under the bonnet, but if you could point out where.
 
I think you need to remove the plastic wheel arch liner to get to the pump.

Some are accessible by jacking the car up, but easier with the plastics off.
 
This may or may not have any relevance in this case, but Palio had this problem in an Uno. We discovered that the Earth had somehow broken. I rewired it and now both washers are working. As its both washers I would look for something electrical and as you say the fuse is OK its got to be the wiring or the switch (unlikely for both switches to fail at the same time). The earth is common to both pumps so if you can rig an earth to the body of the car from the black wires that go to the pumps (there were four on the Uno so you only need access to one of those) you can at least test it.
