Xantia Screen Washers Not Working

[bumperman]

On my 96 xantia 1.9td SX estate the washers have suddenly stopped working, plenty of liquid in reservoir but no whirring of pump motor(where is it located-under driver's wing?). Handbook says same fuse as wipers and they work OK. No other electrical faults.

 

Any ideas? How do I get access to washer pump? Should I suspect control stalk?

 

Thanks

Hi John,

Welcome to the forum, I would suspect the pump, I have put a link to download the Haynes manual in this reply. Just a thought, does the wipers work when you try to wash the windscreen? If they do then I would put my last pound on it being the pump.

If you need the Haynes manual here is a link to download it as a PDF. Download the first part, wait 10-15 Mins, then download the second part, unzip them both and you end up with the complete manual.
