Windscreen Washer Pump Question.

5th June 2010, 20:57

I have just replaced my windscreen washer pump, connected both tubes and both leads to the pump, i can hear it working, it pumps water to one of the tubes but not the other.

I have switched both front and back tubes around to see if the tubes are blocked and they are not as it will come out of either through one side of the pump. The pump is brand new and the tubes are not blocked. Is there some sort of other lever i have to be pulling for the back one to squirt water or something?

ANY help is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks. Gary.

Ok cheers for the reply mate, gonna get in contact with the seller see what they say. Could it be one of the wires? does one wire pump one and the other wire pump the other?

if you can hear it trying to pump both ways the wireing must be fine. when mines packed in, i could hear it working but nothing came out. so changed the pump and was fixed

i just reread what you wrote there. and you said

"Is there some sort of other lever i have to be pulling for the back one to squirt water or something ?"

the back wiper works from the indicator stalk and so does the washer squirter. you turn it a bit more for the water to come out. are you doing that ?
