And so the list goes on... wash-wipe.

1
I've managed to grab an extra week B4 the roadworthy has to be done (within the free retest time scale) so may be able to sort a lot of it myself to save some valuable bucks. But not without the forums wealth of helpful info! The wash wipe simply doesnt work when the pump is connected. I've replaced pump and relay, but whatever I check, nothing changes the symptoms. Basically the wipers do their 5 wipes (when lever is pulled towards driver) only when the pump is disconnected. Connect the pump and nothing happens... no pump, no wipes! The pump works when 12v is put through it. The wiper switch must be working if the wipers operate, but the moment that pump is connected, all is dead. I'm contemplating simply adding a button on the dash for the water wash pump, but would rather not give up yet! Anyone ever had this problem before?

Thanks

If you disconnect the pump and put a multimeter on the feed connections when you pull the levers is power there?  The switch for the pump feed (ie on the switch stalk) could be the culprit.

Can you see the relay operating with and without the pump connected? 

Good luck

Hi all, somebody had a problem with Wash and Wipe, Can't tell who it was but it struck me too . No intermittend wipe and no wash .
 
I did  :  Took water reservoir out, needed a clean badly, checked the pump, ok, put it all back.... no success,
 
            Checked the relevant fuse and replaced the relais with another one, .............................. no success
 
            Took off steering wheel, took off 3 multi connectors, took out 3 srews and removed  the stalk / switch assy. Crikey was that thing filthy !!
 
            Soaked the complete thing with contact spray, let soak 30 mins, used low pressure air to clean most oil and dirt, checked the plastic housing which
 
            hides the lot, found a 40mm long crack , fixed it with epoxy, let cure in the sun, and put it all back together.
 
           turned the key and would you believe... all worx perfecto
