What can i do or try?

  • chrisb43 Feb 14, 2009

    Same problem. Not frozen and the headlamp washers work and the jets are not blocked. disconnect the feed to the jets and nothing comes out. Is there a filter somewhere that could be blocked. You can hear the pump motor working. 2007 model S Type

You may have blocked inlet to pump. try blowing back down pipe from the jet end and listen for bubbles in the washer tank, also check to make sure the pipe is not bent or trapped to cause a block.
the pump is under the right hd side wing. take off wheel and plastic inner and lower guards. reach up at the front and you will feel the tank and the pump is located on the front. the pump is fitted on a push fit rubber grommet. pull out and check you have no obstructions and the water is coming out of the tank.
A new pump is about £45-00 from ''main stealers''
good luck - hope this helps.

It is probably frozen. Can you hear the washer pump run? Park where it is warm for a while.
Don't use cheap blue water, use prestone yellow washer solvent, much better.

Where is the fuse located for the windsreen wash pump on the xzara Picasso 2006 model

Assuming you checked the washer fluid level, turn your key to on and press the washer button. You should hear the pump buzzing. If you do, and you now have a small puddle of water under the car, the fuse and pump are ok and you have a cracked or broken water line to the nozzles.
If you don't, the pump may be bad, It's rarely the fuse. Check your owners manual or repair manual for fuse block and fuse location.

My windsreen wash isn't working what can I do does

Sometimes the problem is in a blockage in either the tubes from the pump to the spray ports or the spray ports themselves are blocked. A small straight pin may clear the blockage.

I have just bought a second hand suzuki alto 2006 the problem is that the rear windsreen washer works fine but the front windsreen washer is not working i can hear the sound of the motor when i try to work...

Either the tube leading from the pump in the front is clogged or iced up, or the tubing has becoming disconnected.

It's also possible that the motor is spinning for the pump, but the impeller is not spinning with it.
But, I would check out the tubing from the windshield spray area down to the reservoir.

Disco 2 windsreen washers not working

check to see if your wipers work, if so then it's not a switch. Does the rear spray and wiper work also. It could be a bad washer pump located in the washer bottle, or a clogged line to your front wipers.

Rear Windsreen wiper motor runs continuousley in

The "stop" function is in the motor of the wiper...remove the fuse and call it a day...You shouldn't use it anyway the rear glass is "soft" in these cars and the wiper action will damage the glass over time.
Sorry :o(
