Well I've been reading on here about the illusive washer pump my car failed mot last week 1 of the items on Gail sheet was washer pump so I replaced it, to my shock it's not working, wipers work but washers dont. Have checked the fuse=ok, seen a relay cuts it out if removed. Checked with multimeter too. It's really annoying as its the only thing holding my Red Rocket back from getting on the road. Is there anyone in Bournemouth who knows about the seicento.. I've looked through over a thousand threads on here trying to find a solution

As above, Seicento use the same pump for front and rear washers.
It runs in one direction for the front washers and the opposite direction for rear washers
I'm sure that is done by reversing the polarity.

The Cinquecento is a lot simpler, it has two separate pumps, one for the front and another for the rear.

Did you definitely get the correct type of pump?
 
I bought from Amazon "DUCATO VAN MINIBUS WINDSCREEN WASHER PUMP 71711241" compatible generic, I've heard theres a relay that possibly could be shagged but dont know where the washer relay is.

Looks like that is a single direction pump.

Are you getting 12V at the pump connectors when the washers are triggered?
 
Yeah I bought that and a T connector
With that you'd end up trying to squirt the windscreen washers and the rear screen at the same time. It may not have enough pressure for that and the windscreen wash will be weaker even if it manages to squirt all three.

If you can hear the pump running, but no signs of anything getting through, try activating the rear screen wash as it may be running in reverse.
