Would like some help at BBWF

[Sireatalot]

Morning Guys..

My windscreen washers have stopped working - it seems there is no power is getting to the washer pump. I have looked over all connections ( that i can see ) and it all seems to be in order.. this leads me to think its a fuse / relay problem but I dont know where to start from this side of things..

Just wondering if someone wouldn't mind assisting at BBWF to try and fault find / resolve the issue as at the moment i'm using a plastic squeegy bottle with water over the top of the windscreen !!!

I have had some , , , and mind you from people who have spotted me washing the windscreen this way whislt I have been haha..

Cheers.
Dom

Hi Ian.

No, haven't checked the pump for a 12v supply.
I do have a multimeter which lives in the 350i boot - will have a check and see.
I haven't been too worried about it as it isn't having an adverse effect on driving.. however. I know its an MOT Failure which is slowly approaching.

Hope to see you at the fest.
Cheers

or if you are reallllllllly lazy..........how about an old school manual pump http://www.lrseries.com/shop/product/listing/1423/...

haha... me being one of the most lazy people I know, that option seems like too much hard work. good find though.


I do have a spare elec one so will try that first

Dead easy Dom, take the connecting wires of the pump and connect to the multimeter, ignition on press the washer switch and see what you get ? (should be 12v)

Hi Ian. I'll give it a go, see what results are thrown up.
Cheers.

Dom did I spot you coming back from the airfield spraying your windscreen from a pop bottle? (A technique that I have used too...)

Yes you did - 1st time I tried it whilst we were on the duel carrigeway - Myself and Malc got more water on us than the windscreen .

2nd time was whilst stopped at lights - it worked that time .. hehe

He did but we fitted a new pump when we got back to Ettington so now all fixed.

Hi Keith.
Have been meaning to post up a massive thanks to you for helping to sort the washer pump out..

It did turn out that the 12v feed was ok but the pump was knackered. Luckily enough, I had another one with me which sorted the problem..

Now I'm missing using the water bottle.... doesn't seem quite the same adventure just pressing a button on the stalk.

haha..

Thanks again..
