Hi there

 

My windscreen washer motor has suddenly gone silent - all fuses seem present and correct and wipers still work (front and rear). I have ordered a replacement windscreen pump off ebay in readiness for replacing it if needed but does anyone have any ideas whether there is a specific fuse for the wiper motor (it doesn't seem to appear listed in any of the Fabia fusebox diagrams) or whether there is anything else obvious to check before I resort to removing the front bumper to access the pump for a proper look?

 

thanks in advance...

 

 

You don't need to remove the bumper. Just undo a few of the T25 Torx screws in the plastic wheel arch liner and wedge it back (removing the wheel will make things easier).

 

Get a test meter or 12 volt test bulb. Remove plug from washer pump and connect meter or bulb to the two wires. Turn on ignition and operate washers. If meter reads or bulb lights it's the pump that's thrown the towel in.
