JustGav Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Having.... 1. spent an hour checking wiring 2. getting a spare washer pump 3. Blowing compressed air through all the pipes 4. Washing the pipes out ..... I could not for the life of me work out why the front washer jets weren't working but yet the rears were... I finally discovered the fault..... the front washers are not pull back... they are push the damn button... Can't believe I forgot about that.
