Windscreen Jets not working?


Dayy

Recommended Posts

Not entirely sure where is the right place to post this.

 

For some reason my Jet Washer have stopped working. When I pull on the handle to turn them on, my windscreen wipers come on for a bit, but no water comes out. At first I figured the water had just ran out, but I topped it up and its still not working.

 

I've never had any dealing with the jets outside of filling them up with water on any car I've ever owned, so I am little unsure of exactly where to start to try and figure out what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can you hear the washer jet pump working when you try to use them? if not then check fuse (fuse box in drivers footwell I believe)/fuse ok then maybe need a new pump (PM zmanalex).

Does the rear window wash work?

Have you tried to see if the jets are blocked? unlikely though that all four front windscreen jets will be blocked at once but you never know. (clear with needle/pin)

Is all the washer jet piping still connected? start at the windscreen wipers and trace it backwards.

Could also be a problem with the non return valve. Under the brake fluid cover inline with the washer bottle pipes/small white piece(cheap easy fix ~ try zmanalex/traders/Halfords/eBay)

Okay the headlight washers work (didn't realise you needed the lights on) but the windscreen ones still don't. Us there meant to be two sets of fuses? I can only find one and the wahers don't seem to be on it

Ok. Sorry then the fuse may well be in the fuse box near the battery then. Bit more awkward to get at but have a read through this thread to see if that helps ~ Post n#7 by Buster; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79756-interior-fusebox-location-help-please/page__hl__+fuse%20+location#entry1202621

 

Hope that helps. :thumbs:
