Rear windscreen washer motor/electrics

Harry · Post by **Harry** » Mon Mar 26, 2007 2:59 pm

Right peeps...here's an obscure one..no info via search or in factsheets.

My rear windscreen washer has packed up.

I've checked the pipes and the nozzle on the back door...all clear

There appears to be a seperate (from the front washers) motor and electrics for this situated at the rear of the fluid reservoir.

The motor does not operate when 'rear wash' is selected on the steering wheel stick control.

I've got a vague memory of it working when I first got the vehicle but it hasn't worked for a very long time.

Electric connector & wires seem ok.

BUT
I dont know where the fuse is.
and
How easy is it to replace the washer motor if it's bust?

Looking forward to some informed knowledge.

cheers

Dunno about the Bongo Harry, but, in the past, I've bought "universal" washer pumps from accessory shops and just held them in place with cable ties.

I was hoping somebody else would come up with that Harry, cos' I can't see which fuse, if any, controls it.

Tisn't the fuse....where do I get a new mota?

No I don't mean a new bongo...just a new rear screen washers motor?

Scrappies anyone?

Didn't realise you were so far from accessory shops. What about Ian's part finder service?
