Washer jets not working
Step 1:
Hi Nicola
First thing to check will be making sure you hear the washer bottle motor working, when you operate the washer jets inside your car.If you can hear it, then you know that works, if it does not work, then you need to check the fuse has not blown, if it has replace the fuse with the same color fuse. Then check to see if it works. If it does not work then you need a new pump.
Step 2:
Pull of the main pipe to your jets, Then operate your washers again, There should be water coming out of the pipe.
Step 3:
If no water comes out, Pull the pipe of the washer pump on the washer bottle & operate your washers, if no water comes out, then you will need to take out the motor & check it is not blocked.
Step 4:
If the water does come out, then you need to check that pipe witch runs down to the washer motor for any kinks in the pipe, or just disconnect the pipe, try blowing through it, U should be able to blow through it easily, If not there will be a kink in the pipe, or the pipe will be blocked, so then the pipe needs to be kink free, unblocked, or a new piece of pipe installed.
Step 5:
If step 2 works, Then your jets are blocked.
Step 6:
To unblock them, Get a needle & push the needle through the whole in the jet to unblock it.
Step 7:
Do the same for all the jets, Put the pipes back on, Then operate the washers. They will work.
Step 8:
If you have any problems let me know. :)
