Failed rear wash \ wipe

[Smoothrunnings]

Hi all

 

A while back my rear wash failed.

Now the wipe has also failed.

 

Before i take it in to check is there a fuse i can be looking at,

Have already checked the rear wash nozzle isnt blocked it stays bone dry.

Octavia 2014 

 

any thoughts

Looks like fuse 47 for the wiper.

They're pretty common to fail or work intermittently after 6 years and up. It is not an MOT tested item BTW.  I replaced mine in the Mk2 at about 7 Years.  They're pretty sealed up with a gear arrangement and control pcb. If you could get it apart it, could just be brushes, but I just replaced mine as disassembly did not appear super straight forward and if you want to get the car re-assembled and back on the road, time is of the essence for us on these sorts of jobs..  

 

Edit: Ps when you've got to the wiper motor plug - test there is voltage there before unboxing on unwrapping any new motor to make sure it is not wiring.
