Hi all,
MOT coming up next week and the bloody window washer has packed in.
No sound from the motor just a click from somewhere under the dash.
Is it a new pump job or something else.
Cheers.
 
It's the sAme with the rear.
Just a click from somewhere in the left side of the dash???
Any ideas?
 
Do the wipers work? If not, could be an issue with the stalk itself, or a connection from it to the wiper motor and pump.

Take a look in the fuse box, make sure it's not wet in there or a fuse has blown. I tried to find out online which fuse number it is but got conflicting information so best refer to your manual if you have one.

There's also an earth connection (black lead from battery to metal chassis) down there under the windscreen washer bottle/passenger side headlight. If that cable/connection has come away or corroded, that could cause problems.

I’d say it’s more likely the pump. The click will probably be a relay and the front and rear wash is handled by one pump that spins one way for the front and the other way for the back normally. I’d look at the pump first and check for power there. If power is getting to the pump then replace the pump
