C3 1.4i Rear Washer Keeps Running

[siteguru]

As per subject, as soon as the electrics are activated (e.g. using remote keyfob to unlock or lock the car) the rear screen washer activates and runs continuously. It only stops when ...

 

1) The key is put in the ignition and turned to the On position

 

2) After locking the car the electrics go to the standby/alarm/immobilised condition

 

Can anyone advise what might be causing this problem please, and how to fix it?

 

For info, the fuse for the washers (F10 in the engine bay box?) recently blew and I replaced this. (None of the washers were working until I replaced the fuse). Then a couple of weeks afterwards the above problem occurred. I've checked around the fuse box and can't see anything dislodged.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

PS - I tried searching but kept getting There is a Problem/Flood alert errors. (Maybe because I wasn't logged in?)
