Windscreen washers?

DB · 12th February 2008

Topped me bottle up today and when i needed the twat, i pulled the stem and nothing? no motor noise nothing?

Im driving a Toyota Avensis? any ideas fellas, obviously something seems to have burnt out?

Is it cheap or expensive to sort, i need my washers for the motorway miles i rack up

I agree mate... First place to check would be the fuse box. I would be suprised though if the washers were on their own fuse. Has anything else gone or behaving strange. Next, check the pump. Use a voltmeter to check if there is power going to it. Dificult to fix so go to halfords and pay between 6 and 14 quid for an aftermarket pump.. replace it. if neither of those work.... its more expensive electrical stuff...

Like the Call the AA option... if your paying for it... use the service..

Have you checked all your fuses and relays? As well as the ones inside the car there are also some in the engine compartment in the Avensis. Which one do you have? Mine's a 2001 2.0 vvti CDX saloon.
