Hi folks .
As heading my window washers have stopped working, when I pull the stalk to operate it nothing happens, the wipers don't even go for the 5/6 times, the rear doesn't work either. Just happened today, they worked perfectly before
Anyone have any ideas as what might be the issue,
Thanks in advance

Re: Window washers not working
Checked the obvious fuses first?
It could be a relay but both at the same time is unlikely?
Try different relays first but I think it could be the stalk is at fault, disconnect and clean up the terminals.

Yeah I checked the fuse its ok, well not blown anyway
Any idea What number relay it is?
I'll try that first then go about changing the stalk

Not off the top of my head and my cars are 20 miles away! They are listed in the Haynes though if you have one.

Re: Window washers not working
All sorted
Relay was fine. It's no72 if anyone ever needs to know.
It was the stalk. Took it off cleaned the contact put it back on and it works a treat.
