Checked fuse, only one side lit up,replaced it and tested, both sides lit up but still no live at the plug. Pump works ok when attached to a battery, any ideas anyone?

Possibly another fuse somewhere in that circuit Richard.

Probably the switch then Rich, run a wire from the rear of the switch to the pump, if it works its a break in the harness somewhere, if it doesn't its the switch.

Cant be swich Andy as the wipers still dweep when the washer is operated. Normally it would squirt water then wipe 3 times, now it just wipes without the water.

Depends on the makeup of the switch mate, id run a wire to the pump and see (The wire colour at the pump 'should' match the one at the back of the switch)

Try pull one of the pipes and blow down it or stick a 12v tyre pump on it.. it may just be blocked or have a airlock

Nothing to do with the pipes Nige, the pump itself doesnt operate.

Don't assume anything Richard, test each thing in turn, you will soon find the fault.
