Headlamp Washer Jets
« 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

Suppose you have tested for power at the pump? Pump may be shot too.

Don't no about Omega system as I don't have headlight washers, but on others I have seen they don't work unless the headlights are switched on.

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 ;) ;)

As you open the fuse box under the bonnet (the triangular one), its near the front and has a fuse holder next to it IIRC.

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

I've found the correct relay but there's no fuse in the holder.... What is the fuse for and what rating should it be please?

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 :-[ :-[ :-[

Do the pictures here help at all ??? 

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 !!

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1176542235

apparently green is 30 amp ....
