Default No Windscreen Washers

My windscreen washers do not work. The wipers work. There is no blown fuse (#8). Of course the low washer light is always on and there is plenty of fluid in the reservoir. I took off the inner fender well to expose the washer bottle. I did not take it out but maybe I should. Taking the tire off to get to it is a pain but I'm sure I'll do it again. Is there a separate fuse for the washers or relay for the washers? I couldn't find anything in the manual about a washer relay. Can anyone out there give me any ideas?

Download that manual, then check out pages 30 & 31 as well as 50 & 51.


There apparently is something called a Wiper Logic Module that could be failing you?

Check if there is power to the pump on the washer bottle when you press the switch for washer fluid. Pump may be gone, or connector/earths gone.

Great, that's just what I need. A wiper logic module. Where the heck is that located? And what does it look like? I downloaded the schematic. Sure is a lot of stuff just to wash the windshield, not to mention the headlights. Heaters for the washer fluid!!!! Yikes!!!!
Looks like I've got a lot to do.

Thanks VEE. I'll probably start working on it again today.
