Title: Headlamp Washer Jets
Post by: Lazydocker on 18 December 2009, 00:57:41: How are these powered... Relay?

Pump OK, Washer switch working fine but no power activating the pump.

Anyone able to help please?? Can't find relays mentioned in the handbook ::) ::)

Towards the front of the triangular engine bay fuse/relay box (2nd back?), it's the one with a fuse right next to it. :y

Yep... They were working but have stopped... Pump OK but not powering when they're meant to so I reckon it'll be a relay ;) ;)

ha ha, looks like it dosn't it? I must have been in a trance - we both gave similar answers though which was good.

I added headlight washers to my Mig and plugged into the empty relay socket. Worked first time :y

They may well add up completely... I'm thinking I may have removed the fuse at some point (like when doing the LPG conversion) and that's why they're no longer working :-[ :-[ :-[

No fuse ratings but colours given ... so if you know your fuse rating/colour settings ....... :) its item 12a and its green ... which I think is 20 amp for some reason !!

apparently green is 30 amp ....

Oh... And green is 30A ;) ;) ;)

I've got a very vague recollection that I may have removed the fuse a while back (in the summer) to reduce the washer fluid useage :-X :-X :-[ :-[
