Windscreen washer motor

princealbert40 · 19th April 2018, 15:00

Hi,

I had my washers stop working. Checked fuses. Checked stalk etc etc. Discovered it was a worn wire going to pump after removing and testing the pump. Fixed the worn wire and now all working again. I have the washer bottle in situ on the car but am having a problem getting the motor to sit snugly to stop any weeping!

Is there a knack to getting it back in correctly?
Any help from those with far more knowledge than myself would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Yes, pull the grimmer out, give it a good wash then soak in hot water for ten mins. You should then be able to refit without a leak.
