They were working one day, and not the next. I had a fiddle with relays and think its the big red one in the fuse box. I can feel it clicking when I push the washer button in, but nothing squirts. Its full up and worked yesterday. Any ideas? Could the stalk have broken? I swapped the relay for another one i bought in bulk a while ago and it clicks but nothing still.

have you tried cleaning the jets out with a small pin

S2Steve

No, not contemplated that, I assumed that wouldn't be the prob since they were working fine, then next morning they weren't

put you test meter on the plug for the washer pump to rule that out

S2Steve

Don't have a meter mate.

the motor in the washer bottle is probably nackered, i had a black rs which done that and it was the pump in the bottom of the bottle, i mite b able to get hold of 1 ta morra!

S2Steve

If you could mate, would be awesome. Even if it turns out not to be the prob, spares for an RS are always handy lol

S2Steve

When you press the button in, you can feel the realy click. I'm in the process of trying to get the bottle out, its a shame ford had to place it in such a ridiculous place to be honest!

S2Steve

Right so i've found the problem, the pump under the bottle isn't working! Anyone got a spare?!

is it the same as a mk6 escort? if so i have one you can have. just pay the postage

before you buy a new one run two wires straight from the battery and see if that kicks it into life. had this problem and just giving it a staight 12v feed broght it back to life then just plugged it back in using the original conector and it worked again so may be worth a try mate. could just be somethings got stuck in the motor.

check the wires that run down the tank to the pump aswell as ive had one thats worn through the wires over time of it rubbing against the inner wing.
