the pump i have just found was disconnected on mine and the pump looked pretty grubby and furr coming out of it, so ive cleaned the car end of th connector and robbed one of the spare under back seat water injection pumps(finis 6088981) which are exactly the same it turns out...

question is,, when and how long should the pump actually spray, a can hear a relay clicking in with the headlights and wipers on if you go to squirt the windscreen, but the headlamp washer pump doesnt run, does anyone know which relay it is, im assuming its a timer relay which runs on for x amount of time once energised...?

you don't need to run the wipers just the headlights.

First of all check if you have a voltage on pump. (it can be just blocked)

Dave Henshall

no voltage to the pump, but the fuse is ok, so leads me to think that its the relay that fooked....

I removed mine as I'm using the pump to spray on the intercooler but as I live in France it won't be easy...mayby you can find find someone near you and borrow its relay to try.
fusebox are known for there poor quality on welding but I never heard about a bad weld on headlamp wash...but who knows!

Dave Henshall

its got a brand new fusebox, i'll try the realay 2nite and see if it works on the bench.

Azrael

When you sort it out please tell me if you can set the squirts. I mean are they glued in or can they be adjusted? I tryied moving mine because they don't hit right spots on the lamps but can't move them.

Dave Henshall

Azrael

So Dave tell me when you check it out

Dave Henshall

found the relay, its as the info above, and it does click in for a split seccond but isnt latching, so i reckon its a new relay needed. i found the problem that was draining the battery aswell, the interior light delay re;ay was staying on. unpluged it and lpugged uit back in and that now is working correctly (why i dont know)BUT now the dashboard lights (elecroluminesence doesnt work think i might have blown the inverter when i tried a normal rely in the interior lights socket

Azrael

Dave - where is interior delay thing? My interior lights work with no delay.

Dave Henshall

its the tall yellow relay at the front of the fusebox...R17.

does your interior light in the roof have a 20sec setting on it...?

Azrael

It has "20 sec" sign on it. But just goes on and of when I close and open the door. Not like in my moms Focus where it is lit for some time after the door closed.

Dave Henshall

probably that relay that is to fault, if its fitted at all, it might just have a bridging link so that it works on/off just from the door pin switches alone.

could you do a me a favour and take a pic of the locations of your relays, according to the book, there are some that are not uses which ar e installed and some that are the otehrway round...

Azrael

My fusebox is a little bitchy to take out. Do you remmember my car is LHD? Is that matter in terms of electrics? I'm little afraid of taking all of that apart but if it helps you just tell me which pics do you want.

Dave Henshall

of course, left hand drive,, it does say in teh handbook that some things will be indifferent locations for a LHD model, namely the headlamp washer relay - but why, i dont know.

Azrael

Which handbook? I don't see any electrics on any of my Escos manuals.

Dave Henshall

the ford vehicle handbook, the ones that you get with the car from new which tells you about which fuses do what, what oil to use and how to operate the control etc...

get this, just loooked on microcat, the headlamp washer relay is about Ł52!!!!!! and the interior delay one is Ł33!!!!!! fook mei!!! a trip to the scrap yard i think....

Azrael

I know, I got it.. in Swiss dialect of German

Geez... and probably not avalible.

Dave Henshall

they look like standard parts and not cosworth specific so probably will be. gonna still try a breaker yard first though, as i can live without them working as they have never worked while i have had the car, as long as i know WHY they aren't woprking, its a job for a rainy day, besides, with morrettes fitted, they dont squirt in the right place anyway

Azrael

That's the problem I aways wanted to correct (that was what I was trying to explain in the beginning of the thread). Any ideas?

you can swivel the jet [its like a ball socket] but its easy to snap it if it hasnt been moved for a while,the problem is getting something to fit in the holes/awkward angle

Azrael

Hmm are those expensive to replace?

Dave Henshall

just realised why the EL dials dotn light up.... ive got the panel off to get to the fusebox and unclipped the dimmer switch so the only thing that need replaceing now is the headlamp washer relay.

Dave Henshall

the jets are abuot Ł9 each, finis:
LH 6795023, RH 6795021.

Azrael

Muct order new ones and try adjusting them at some opportunity. If you manage to make them squirt in right places tell me. Please

Dave you're really good at that DIY :-D I am really scared of electrics.

Dave Henshall

ive just had a play with mine oo-err,,, if you put 2 small terminal screwdrivers in the slots on the jets at the top, you can moce them about like a ball jont and make them point whereever you want - within reason...

Azrael

I've tryied with mine and they won't move, I am afaid to brake them. Will order new ones before braking them

Dave Henshall

i squirted some wd-40 around them first, they were quite stiff to move at forst , but got much easier once moved a couple of times

Azrael

Will try tommorow then with lots of lubrication
