Hi.I am having problems with my front screen wash on my 2001 Ford Mondeo Zetec. When I depress the stalk for the front wash the pump motor does not run.It works fine on the rear window.At first I thought it was the wiper stalk itself but I have spent all afternoon gaining access to the motor.I have a little electrical experience and this is what I have found.
- I disconnected the multi plug from the washer motor and when the correspondant buttons where depressed I received 12 volts to earth from each connection in turn.This I thought pointed at a faulty motor so I bought a new motor only to have the same problem !!!
- I then tested the original pump via wires direct from the battery onto the pump connections then reversed the polarities.Both ways worked the pump fine. (The pump has two water outlet ports ,one for the front and one for the rear screen).
Scratching my head now..Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
