Washer jets not working

Post by Moonmonkey831 » Fri Sep 04, 2020 10:40 pm

Hi guys,

Haven’t driven the car too much over the last few months but went out today and to be honest I can’t remember the last time I tried to wash my windscreen, but I tried it today and nothing happens.

The water reservoir is full and there is no warning light, and I can’t hear any pump or noise when trying to spray the windscreen. I also don’t think the headlight washers are ejecting or working either.

I’ve had a look at the fuse list in the handbook but couldn’t see what the obvious fuse might be for this function (if there is a fuse for it?)

Any ideas before I contact the dealer to get it looked at? Car is 3 years old in November.

Thanks a lot

Where you have been keeping your car in garage or outside? Maybe it’s rusted

Mostly in the garage so I’m a bit baffled
