E39 front wipers are not working but water is coming out

Check all fuses with test light or multimeter. I tend to agree with you that it is probably a fuse. Not knowing of any "hidden" fuses or in-line fuses on that system. But sometimes other fuses that are not labeled as wiper or turn signal might be used for power also. So, check all fuses including the ones under the hood.

Hi,on washer bottle wind screen is electric motor check that first, or you have broken or cut pipe bringing water to wind screen.

Check your manual for wiper fuse & relays location.You can inspect fuses visually...hope this helps

If you are just talking about the windshield washer pump/motor that squirts water on the front windshield, there is no separate fuse for that pump. If you are talking about the front windshield wipers themselves then the fuse for that (including the washer pump) is located is the fuse panel inside the vehicle down below and to the left of the steering wheel. Below is a diagram of the fuse layout (first picture) and I marked the 10 amp fuse for the system. As I said if you are talking about the pump/squirter motor there is no separate fuse. Inside the wiper motor itself (located basically on the firewall on the drivers side) is an internal microprocessor as well as an internal relay for that pump. If the processor or the relay is bad, both are internal and the whole wiper motor assy. has to be replaced. It's one complete unit. There is a chance that the pump motor itself could be bad. In the second picture is a breakdown of the washer fluid reservoir. In order to get access at it which is where the washer pump motors are located the right front wheel and splash guard have to be removed. I have marked the 2 washer pump motors which are mounted on the reservoir. I cannot tell you which motor is which but the one for the front has 2 wires at the connector (a black & white wire and a black wire) The rear pump motor has a violet & light green wire and a black wire at its connector. That's how you can tell which one is which. You can test the motor by either pulling it out and applying direct power and ground to it to see if it engauges or while someone is engauging the washer inside the vehicle while you are down there, see if you are geting power at the black and white wire. Check that wire while it is disconnected and using a good separate ground. If you are getting power make sure the black wire is geting a good ground. If all is good (ground & power) than more than likely the pump motor is bad. If you have a power supply problem at the black & white wire than you are looking at most likely a bad wiper motor assy but check for an open power wire from the wiper motor to the pump motor. It's not quite as simple as it used to be. The wiper motor on your vehicle has like a mini computer in it. I'm gonna say the washer pump motor is bad which is the most common. Hope I was able to help and that I didn't get too technical on you but things are not like the old days with separate motors (wiper and washer).

check all the fuses with a meter , not just by sight, then, look under the hood for the fuse block there, check those fuses also, especially the main fuses, 30 amp and above,, with any luck he didn't blow out your computer

you need a new wiper motor. That should cure your fix :)) Please rate... James Booth

Remove the washer tank & test the pump

Probably quit

I have not seen a remote filter for these they are usually on the motor itself. Take the hose loose from the pump and see if it is actually pumping out water or is it just running. If it is pumping pretty strong trace the rubber tube up to the wipers and make sure there is no breaks in it anywhere.

The jet is probably blocked. Remove the pipe from the jets and see if water comes from the pipe. If it does, blow the jets free using compressed air, normally you can use the local garage tyre inflater, or a friendly repair garage will give them a squirt for free.
If water doesn't come through when you test, then the pipe may be blocked or even split. If blocked you can take it off and blow free using your mouth, and if split just replace.

the pump might not be working
