Window Washer Blues

[Xsarina]

I have a Xsara 2.0l HDi, 2003 plate. My window washers have stopped working. I have read around this forum and followed the tip for replacing the washer motor as I have no audible click when I activate them - however this has not worked and in fact when power is connected to the old unit it does in fact work.

 

So - can anyone help? There is no audible click, the pump still works, the rear washer does not work either, the fuse has been replaced - although not sure which one this is as the 'handbook' (or should that be 'hinderbook'?) doesnt give a location and does not refer to a fuse for the window washers at all.

 

Also does anyone have a repair manual for this car or something online/download that they can point me to for some assistance?

 

All help will be greatly appreciated,

Xx

hi, i have been told that the console or com 2000 can be problomatic i think it sends a signal down to the bsi unit and then to whatever you want to opperate washers, indicators, lights so you need to check weather you have got power going to the washer motor when you pull the lever and if you have an earth. the earth is easy to fix by earthing the pump to the battery the live is not so easy, good luck cheers andy.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for that one it was a fuse that had gone on the underside of the bsi unit - your help pointed us in the right direction - many many thanks!
