screen washer motor location?

Hi all, I have a 2003 1.6 Stilo Dyn:
The front and rear wipers work, but unfortunatley the front and rear water jets are not. There is no motor sound at all, I think the problem is either with the motor or the switch, can anyone tell me the location of boht the water washer motor and switch, many thanks.

I'd go for the easy stuff first. Have you checked the fuse

F43 here.

The relay T12 is also in the circuit so you could remove and reseat that one for good measure.

Then I'd check for power at the washer pump connector. You'll probably find that's where your problem is, and it starts working as soons as you move it, often just making the connection clean there does the job.

Hitting the motor is good too, it may not make it work but it feels good
 
The washer pump on the bottle is the place to look. The connector is very basic and unprotected from the crap thrown at it while driving. It corrodes quickly and will almost certainly be the cause of the problem
