mrben Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Afternoon all. Anyone experienced this before I go and investigate. Wipers still work.cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Do the rear ones work? If not would suspect the motor a likely cause, though could be blown fuse causing it. Can you hear the motor running when you pull the lever? If so then must be a plumbing issue, either a kinked pipe or break in there somewhere, leaking washer fluid should make it easy to find if that.

mrben Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi bri. Nope cant hear motor running when trying rear either. Will have a look at fuses tomorrow. Just noticed that the heater switches panal has stopped working also. Can switch fan on, but can't select where you want air blown, and interior rear aux. Heater switch not functioning etc., was fine a couple of days ago....how odd. This car is just full of surprises! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrben Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Fuses ok. I'v noticed the pumps for the washers seem to be actually in the jets by the window. There are wires going to each jet.I could understand one going down, but not both at the same time? (mk2 diesel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 The jets are heated on a lot of higher spec fords, I would guess some if not all of the Galaxy range may have the same. Its usually the case that a heated screen will be accompanied with heated jets. I'd suspect the pump on the reservoir is either gummed up with crap (sometimes they fill up with algae in the tank, particularly if you don't use any screen wash) or just dying. If you can get a multimeter onto the connector and get soemone to operate this should tell you. Voltage there consistently would indicate wiring probably ok. If theres no voltage there it may be the wiper stalk causing the issue, again multimeter should give you an answer to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrben Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi bry. Got the motor out, and it was corroded. Freed it up a bitwith plyers, and it worked again. Quietly chuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an absolute dog to get too. Thanks again. The lever you use to operate the wipers would be the stalk. You've fixed it though so looks positive. At least if you've got it out you know how to get in there if it goes again. I think the same pump does both washers (front and rear) - just spins the motor the other way to achieve it. They usually are like that, if theres two pipes leaving the pump i'd be pretty sure thats the case. Well done on getting it sorted though.
