Ok so got a strange one all of a sudden when I squirt my front washer jets it makes it come out the back window jet and when i squirt the rear one it still comes out the rear jet now I changed the pump on these about 6 months ago so its plumbed in the correct way any ideas ???

Have you used front washers since changing pump? If not, you got plumbing wrong.

Yes they were fine upto 2 days ago weird or what.

do you think maybe there might be a blockage at some point and its forcing the water to go down the rear jet pipe ???

 

Ok so I just popped to the shops gave them a squirt and working correctly came out shop driving home tried them again and squirt out back 🙄

What was the original reason for changing the pump, was it doing the same thing?

 

The pump motor changes direction when feeding the rear jet, so maybe it's a switching issue, i.e. the column stalk.

The original pump was leaking so I was loosing all my fluid but worked fine jet wise.

Only other thing I can think of is the directional water valve on the pump playing up somehow.

I'm with you on that Lee !

 

As a check you could just take off the plug to the motor and run 2 wires up to the battery - see which jet squirts. If its the rear then reverse your two wires and see if the front squirts. This will prove the motor out

 

Was it a new motor you fitted ? A second hand one could have bits of crud playing havoc especially as we are now working with 15-20 year old cars !!

 

If the motor checks out and does what its told every time then put a meter on the motor plug and see if you are getting +12v and -12v as you operate the front and rear wash - It dosent matter which is which as long as you get a direction change - But I doubt it will come to that in fairness. I cant see how the stalk would swap directions randomly ..! But I've been wrong before ....

 

A strange one !

 

 

 

 

Hi thanks for the ideas I have a spare battery so will give that a try as it is looking like a pump issue as you say guess there must a fault at it even though it was brand new when I fitted it. Thanks for the help 👍

well put another new pump in just in case the other new one had a fault and still getting the same issue will squirt out front but once ive squirted out back they will only squirt out back until I restart car ???

could this ongoing issue be related to the wiper stalk in any way ???

It's a possibility. That's why I already suggested it back in January.
