hi had a bit of problems with the washer pump at the front recently, i have tried all of the fuses, a new pump, trimming the wires back and crimping new spade connectors on and it hasn't solved the problem.

any one any clues?

is there any relays or anything ive missed

cheers

Try replacing the stalk. I've had a couple of 205 stalks fail over the years so wouldn't be too surprised if that was the problem.

I don't think there are any relays but I could be wrong.

Try also remaking all the connections to the earth block situated behind the headlamp.
Bin the yellow plastic thng, cut off the connections, re-terminate with rings and bolt back together.
You'll find it sorts out a few things.

few of us in winchester



have you tried clearing the lines? give them a quick blast of compressed air can sometimes do the trick.
