Scumfrog Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I guess this is an electrical fault that I will just have to trace and find myself, but I was hoping it might be a common fault. When I pull the windscreen wiper lever to wash, the wipers work but not the washer jets. The pump works when the + is connected directly to the battery. In fact so do the wipers, which i didn't expect. So I'm thinking that means there must be a continuation of the circuit to the wipers. Is that correct? The fuses seem fine. Is there a direct line that I can use temporarily directly from the fuse box so that it works for the MOT which is coming up soon? This happened a few days ago. The headlamp washers also have stopped working, but I rarely used them so I don't know if it's associated, but they seem to be on separate circuits. Are there any decent wiring diagrams to download? 1984 3.2 Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zohar Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Silly question - when you pull the lever the pump isnt working ? or just no water spraying ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumfrog Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 When I pulled the lever the pump was not working. However, after taking it off and putting it back on again, it has now started working again. I didn't actually do anything to it so i don't know why!

Very common and covered in detain in a number of posts, have a search. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumfrog Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 I thought I was having to pull the lever harder than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumfrog Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 I thought I was having to pull the lever harder than normal. Is this repairable or do I have to fork out £270 on a complete stalk assembly? At that price I guess it's a matter of waiting until it breaks down completely.

Timmy Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I tried to repair mine a few times having not worked for years. I just used the intensive wash system. I eventually bought a new stalk from OPC at £220 last year and all works. Also, the wipers now park in the right place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
