Bongo Fury

Hi all,

purchased a replacement (front) washer motor from Ebay. Local garage fitted it (apologies not that technical).

However, they didn't charge me for fitting it - said the motor was fine. Therefore assuming it is likely to be a wiring problem (can't be fuse, cos wipers still work fine).

Any tips/hints pointing me in the right direction - much appreciated

Did they definitely do the right one only I thought I'd done the front and it was the rear electric I chased for ages

Good test is to use a meter on the terminals or a simple test light and see if you are actually getting power there.
If not then try connecting it to a known earth on the chassis somewhere - if you get a result then you know its a dodgy earth and that'll be on the earth post behind the passenger side headlight.

Try cleaning the terminals they get a hammering right at the front.

Mine drove me mad until I replaced the pump, cleaned terminals and sorted the earth post.
Oh and worked on the right pump!

Good point - don't know is the honest answer, but will check it.

thanks - much appreciated

My front was rusted up inside. Cured it by soaking overnight in coca cola
