Windshield Washer fluid not working diagnose and Fix.
Windscreen Washer Jets not working.
It is important your Windscreen washers are operational to keep your Windshield in good clean condition when driving.
Follow me as I investigate why the Windshield washer fluid is not coming out and why the Windshield Washer Pump is not working.
The Windscreen Washer Motor is unlikely to fail so there are a few things to check first. I will show you the steps including checking your washer jet nozzles are clear, checking your washer jets\pipes aren't frozen, checking the washer motor fuse is not blown and checking your pipes aren't split.
Prime suspect is in the Winter when screenwash freezes. Use more concentrated screenwash in your bottle when it's really cold as it has de-icer in it and top up with hot tap water (never use water from a water butt as it will be dirty and clog up your nozzles).

Cheers Lurgsy, with your inspired off-site diagnostic support I systematically identified a leaky pipe and inefficient jets so have ordered 2 new jet nozzle units & 2 new pipe connector repair thingies. Stoked to have saved money on labour time & non-eBay item prices, and makes me feel like a knowledgeable grown up!!!😛👍🤙

No problem. The T5 washer pipes are a terrible design coz every time you close the bonnet it bends right over so eventually it splits!

Thanks, saved me a lot of money!!My fuse had blown and just bought a new one for £1 and solved my problem - now don’t have to spend £50 on a ‘diagnostic check’ to find the problem and no doubt extra costs for the repair 😂

Hello, thank you very much for the video. My Opel Corsa C 2001 windscreen jets don’t work either. First it was the front jets. The both didn’t work, but after a few clicks they worked again. The rear jet at that moment worked. But a few days later, both quit working.

Hi Lurgs. Is it a blade fuse I need for this. There seems to be mini blade, maxi blade and just blade fuses??? Don't know which one to order. Thanks in advance x

@LurgsHowToGuides Жыл бұрын

What’s the one that has blown? It is most likely standard size although if it’s tiny that’s the mini fuse. No idea why they created different sizes! The tiny ones are hopeless to try and unplug or plug back in

@moragclark7839 Жыл бұрын

@Lurgs How To Guides its the windscreen washer pump. I reckon it must he a standard 7.5 blade, ya think?

Hello! Followed the steps and established that the washer pump on my Soda Fabia SE 2015 was not making any noise. I used the multimeter and could see that the fuse seems to be working okay. I thought that meant my pump had burned out so I replaced it, only to find it still doesn't work. I am hoping it is an issue with the connector on the pump itself. One thing I should of done was use the multimeter on the wiring going to the pump. Is there anything else I can do instead of removing the whole thing again? I am hoping its not the stalk. Any advice please?

@LurgsHowToGuides 9 ай бұрын

Remove the plug from the pump unit and then put a multimeter on the connections and get someone to pull the stalk and see if you get 12volts. If not then try the fuses first then after that it could be the stalk but they don’t usually fail

Will the central locking work after disconnection? I have disconnected the two wires but my central locking no longer works via keyfob. But I have the feeling this is due to the battery being completely flat as I was away on holiday and the alarm module went off and completely drained battery. But are you able to confirm?

Why would both rear and front screen pumps go at exactly the same time. I pumped some old screenwash out and once empty I put decent fluid in but both pumps are silent No fuses are popped

I have Iveco Daily. I didn't try with hot water... going to try that tomorrow. The pump is buzzzing, but no water, i did clean all the hoses and there were no leak either.. so weird, my car is from 2020😵‍💫

Sounds like just frozen pipes, maybe not enough Screenwash concentrate. Might be ok today if you are in England as it’s milder

@matthewatkinson6988 3 ай бұрын

Did you ever solve this. My pump clearly has power - it buzzes loudly. Pipes are clear - I can both blow air back through pipes and make water bubble in tank. And I can suck water from pump up through the pipes. The pump still doesn't move any water....

@vedranmedjimorec4001 3 ай бұрын

i've replaced both fuses and pump....and it still does not work....and i can't hear my pump working like before.....any ideas? :(

@LurgsHowToGuides 3 ай бұрын

Need to test the wires on pump with a multimeter when someone pulls the stalk to see if 12v is getting to it. It’s very rare the stalks break. I would double check fuse again. Good luck
