In the fuse box in the passenger footwell: There's a long row of thirteen fuses at the top of the box, it's number 10 counting from the left, or number 3 counting from the right. It's 7.5 amps.

Might also be the connection onto the pump motor - mine came loose, (wasn`t properly pushed into place), again prior to an MOT.....Easy fix if that`s the cause.

have now checked fuse (replaced as well just in case) but seems fine. The connection plug and the terminals on the motor were very corroded, had a go and cleaning up both but even with the motor off and wired straigt to a bettery it doesnt work ! anyone know where the motor is from? Had a new washer bottle recently as other split, could be that the leak has knackered the connection and shorted the little motor maybe....

I ahve to say the motor doesnt really looklikeit fits the bottle properly but it may be the replacement bottle was different to standard........ done at South West Lotus so should be o.
