Forester Screen Washers

[CaptainSlow]

Hmm...mine didn't work this morning despite a nice full resevoir. Any common problems with these?

[CaptainSlow]

panic over I was pressing the wrong button...doh!

Doh !

[CaptainSlow]

Still puzzled though.

The button on the end of the stalk squirts the washers and activated the wipers a couple of times.

Pulling the same stalk forwards only does the wipers a couple of times despite the graphic on the stalk showing the the squirters working.

I think the same thing also caught me out on my Impreza.

Did the same thing on mine when I first got it.

You sure the graphic you are seeing isn't referring to the the rear wipers..? Mine is a rotational movement of the end of the stalk to activate the rear wipers and/or rear water squirter. Then the pull/push/end button for front operation.

Nope. It is a separate graphic to the one for the rear wipers.
