Front wash/wipe mystery

1
HI there,
I have a newly purchased trakka syncro high top. Amazing van in incredible shape with dual locking diffs, powered everything, solar, leather upholstery, full service history etc etc... and I've given it a good going over to get everything working tip top and one thing has got me... the washer pump for the front. The old one was seized so I replaced it, and now when its connected, the wipers dont do their 5 wipes and the pump does nothing. If i disconnect it the wipers do their 5 wipes (but no washer spray is happening obviously) If I test the voltage at the pump leads, it reads 12v and sticking the voltage probes in at the pump end doesnt affect the wipers pulses. And when I put 12v through the pump it works fine. SO does ANYONE know why plugging in the pump would stop the whole wash/wipe from working? I reversed polarity and still nothing. The switch looks fine too, but thats the last option... to fit a new switch, though I assume if the wipers puse with no pump attached, then the switch is 'switching'.

Many thanks, and glad to join the forum!

Perhaps your wiper relay is malfunctioning. That is what controls the interval wiping action and parking (of the wipers).

Nick,

This is a community of Syncro owners.   It helps to maintain the sense of community if we all add our names to each post.

We all did in the early days but much less so now.
