Boxster 986 Washers not Working

[eswmartin]

Its not my week!

Boxster 986 Washers don't work. Checked the pipes they are good and clear, checked the fuse thats all good. Can't hear the pump working so I assumed it's a faulty pump. Bought a used one from Ebay changed it still no good. there is power going to the pumps as i can hear a little clunk when they are switched on. I have checked with a meter and they are getting 12 volts but still no good.

I have used a little lamp to test the feed to the pump strangely this does not light but the meter shows current any ideas? I guess I could have 2 faulty pumps? Or is there a relay somewhere that could be playing up?

I would be very grateful for any help!


Cheeeeeers

Hi, test meter shows battery voltage... But you test light won't light up? Bad earth or wiring unable to carry the current.

Current, you mean amps instead of volts?

Leave pump in situ and connect the + to the pump feed and the - to ground (parallel). You should see 12V when you operate the pump.

Gut feel is a blockage if you can feel it kicking, do they have an inlet pipe, I can't remember. If so put it in a jar of water and see if it can pick up.
