Db9 screen wash

[schmarnst]

Hi all, can anyone advise how I can fix my screen washer?
Headlight jets work but nothing on the screen. Is it a separate pump? I have checked the hoses to the jets and they are clear, the fuse is intact and the wipers operate when the switch is pressed, but there is no sound from the pump. I presume this is what's at fault, but also how do you get to it??

I recently had the same fault on a customers Rapide. I would presume it's the same set up. If so it is indeed a separate pump and wasn't too dear, £20-30 I think. Drivers front arch liner off and easy swap over.

First thing to check would be whether or not you can hear the pump buzz when you try to operate the washers. If it does, then check the jets for blockages and hoses for kinks and connection to pump, and if not, check the fuse. They often blow that if you try to wash the screen when the water in the pump is frozen.

Next, check the connections to the pump for a switched live when operating the switch, if thats ok, then you need a pump.

Thanks, the only noise is the wiper motor and headlight pump. Fuse is intact, hoses are clear from the T piece clipped to the bonnet.
Just couldn't work out where the bottle and pump were and as per usual the manual was extremely helpful!

This should help with the pump positioning.......
