Are you sure you have no power to the washer motor,if so check the push switch on the wiper switch,do you have a voltage meter to check things,or use a bulb with two wires,put it across the motor then press the wiper push switch if the light lights up you have power going to the motor

go to right hand bottom follow wiring yellow/black to washer switch/pump, then green wire to wiper switch, test as you go.

Is the earth wire stillattached/ fixed to the inner wing/inner wheel arch?

In all honesty Richard, if you truly are "terrible at electrics", then either find a mate who isn't, or go to an auto electrician.

Too easy to do something that can damage your p&j further if you don't understand auto electrics.

getting 0.11 on the voltmeter t the 2 wires is this ok

[StagJonno]

Assuming that you've got the ignition on, someone is operating the washer switch, you've got your voltmeter set to DC Volts and are measuring across the Light Green/ Black, (positive) and Black (negative/ earth) wires at the pump, you should see around 12V for a healthy circuit.

If you get the 0.11V, then measure with your voltmeter (under all the above conditions) between the Light Green/ Black and the battery negative (-ve). If you see ~12V, this indicates that your problem is in the black wire and its connections. Check, clean up and tighten up.

Otherwise - do your wipers, Temp & Fuel gauges work (with ignition on)? If not then, with Ignition off, check the 15A fuse "Screen Wiper Motor" and the fuse clips for a firm clean connection. Clean up/ replace fuse as necessary

If not the fuse, the problem would appear to be in the column switch, the Light Green/ Black wiring or connector (by the steering column). Disconnect the battery before investigating.

Or, as Wilf suggested, take it to an experienced auto electrician or classics garage..

maybe you have a fault with the washer bottle motor,a while ago Ian posted how the repair the motor

[richard1705]

it is new that's why I was trying to see if its faulty also wanted to learn a bit about millimetres just the basics sometimes helps. not rely overly concerned that I don't have water at the washers but will check wiring
thanks for your replies
