Sanity check. Screenwash motors


DanFino

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I've had my Fairlady off the road for a little while to do some jobs.

 

Started it today, tried to clear the screen and nothing from the screenwash. It's got liquid in, and it worked the last time I tried it. The front at least did the rear never has.

 

Pulled the fuse, that was fine. Got the wife to try it while I was outside the car. No noise from either motor.

 

So while she worked the switches I put a circuit tester across the fuse gap. 12v when either is activated.

 

My guess is the motors have both gone.

 

I just wanted to check out night be something else I haven't thought of.

 

Any ideas?

Ok update to this in case anyone is interested.

 

Both motors were really old and looked crudded up and knackered.

 

Found a new front motor on eBay for £7.99 but a rear one was £30.00. so I just bought 2 front ones..

 

Sure enough they are the same motor but with different connectors. As the connectors on mine looked knackered.

 

So I cut them off and soldered in some insulated Spade connectors on both. On each motor the orange wire is the positive. 

 

Then I wrapped them in self amalgamating tape.

 

Refilled, tested, worked. 

 

Quite happy with a £16 repair really.
