Rear wash/wipe packed up.

[markbognor]

My rear wash wipe has died, unfortunately its not the fuse. Any other quick and easy checks / common faults its likely to be. My multi meter shows no power at any of the conections when switching so suggests that the problem is deeper than just needin a new motor. The switch also does not run the motor for the rear washer.

and fronts are fine? i was thinking it could be the control arm thingy

Yeah, good as gold, there's two separate motors on the reservoir, so I suppose it could be the motor for the rear washerscausing the fault but I cant see that stopping the wipers or making the whole circuit dead. Is there a fuse for the motor, or does that use the same fuse as the wiper circuit under the dash?

a broken wire has been reported a few times

 

[markbognor]

Where the wires flex between body and boot?

sorry is it the washer packed up or the wiper motor
my wash switch packed up, when i looked in side the wiper stalk it was all broken,how does the stalk feel handle is it a bit loose feeling?
yeh the wires between body and boot have been known to split

It's the rear washer and wiper. It doesn't seem to be the switch, I just had the stalk off and bypassed it. I want to get it MOT'd this week so I think I'll just have to remove the wiper mech and get it tested with out. This was supposed to be a quick fix while I wait for the motor factor to get my CV joint.

true first things first mot then check.pain in the --s that wiper thing my stalk was the prob with mine but could be down to the no live you found

 

[markbognor]

Oh well it's "fixed" now - there's a rubber grommet where the wiper mech should be and another where the washer nozzel should be.
