hi, my front washers have stopped working, fuses ok, motor works, can't see any puddles or dripping water (it is raining on and of so everywhere kind wet) disconnected pipe by washer jet and no water on activating washers. Rear works fine, headlight washers work when put lights on.

My rear washer works when pull (or push stalk can't remember) and when I press button on stalk, I've not noticed before but thought only the front window Washers worked when push button. Any advice before I pull front bumper off.

It's certainly interesting that the rear one still works. It uses the same pump and filter,. IIRC

Are you sure you can hear the pump activating ? and not a switch fault ?

Yes def pump running when push button on stalk, I even took headlight out and got someone to push washer button and can hear pump running, I also disconnected pipe from passenger side jet and blew hard down pipe and clearly heard washer fluid bubbling away in washer bottle so pipes seem to be clear and connected,

I'm still confused why the rear washer works when push front washer button. it works when pull stalk to activate rear wiper and washer also as normal. ( shouldn't the rear washer only work when pull towards you)

Water shouldn't come out the rear when the end button is pressed.

I would try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins to reset the computer.

Yes, it's the same pump running in different directions for the front/rear. The button on the stalk should be for the front, so there must be an electrical issue somewhere - with those results it must be either with the switch, or wiring from the switch to the CJB (passenger fusebox). I think your symptoms rule out any issue with the pump/pump wiring so keep the bumper on.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Will try electrics reset, will also do scan first just to see if anything comes up.

Just read codes and came up 1) battery saver relay output circuit B1C62-14 & front windshield wiper fast relay coil circuit B1C76-14 cleared them & front washers worked for couple seconds then stopped again, read codes again and no codes present,

On the early ones the button is for the front

May need a few cycles for the codes to return.

See if the wipers work in fast mode

Yes all settings work on wipers, disconnected battery for 10min, no joy, if I hold washer button all I hear is motor (& rear washer pumping out water) but if I blip the button ( on off on off continues) it squirts a little bit from both front, I can also hear fuse box clicking away on every press.
(Just to mention passenger footwell bone dry.)

Clicking could be a relay, might be worth checking and see if you can swap it for another one if there is one the same.

Thanks will give that a check, if not obvious witch relay is wiper/washer shall I just do it by process of elimination. Remove relay try washer button and so on until I hear no click on pressing washer.

If you get someone to operate the stalk and you put your finger on various relays you may be able to feel which one is clicking.

Cheers

Great, thanks col. Will give that a go.
