The wipers still work, I can't seem to hear the washer motor at all. I've checked the fuse and that is fine - didn't really think it was that as the wipers are on the same fuse and they go. Plenty of water in the resoir. Any ideas of what to check next? Or is this one for the auto electrician to sort? Cheers for your help.

Pull pump out of the bottom of the bottle you will see the filter, remove and clean.

I could blow down the tube and hear the tank bubbling but still the pump was too weak to suck water through. Had to fully disassemble and clean/ bleach tank and filter Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90113-window-washer-fault/#findComment-1531216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 12y 1m 1d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 20/02/15 03:47 AM Share Posted 20/02/15 03:47 AM (edited) Sounds like my washer bottle problem but I decided not to 'blow' anything and instead bought a new pump $15...cheap just then. Ill install it tomorrow Edited 20/02/15 03:47 AM by BenDoCo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90113-window-washer-fault/#findComment-1531242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
