hey guys

my k1 2008 has a problem were the wipers work front and rear but no screenwash
ive tested power to the pump when the stalk is pulled (bonnet closed) and nothing no voltage
i also looked in the owners manual for a fuse location all i could find was heated washers im guessing that would be the correct fuse ?
ive read the wiper stalk could be at fault but im hoping to not have to change that

Have the wipers just stopped or this is how it was bought you think?

No noises when stalked pulled I assume if no power to it.

Just had a google and found a possible location for the pump

"20amp fuse (yellow) behind the dash panel that is visible when you open the drivers door. Don't quote me but fuse no 36 rings a bell."

Your manual should show you how to get into this panel if you're not already looking at it lol

fuse 36 was for headlamp washers mate and left blank as i do not have xenon's on my k1 unfortunately
upon doing some more research im thinking it could be the wiper stalk as im not getting power from the stalk to the pump plug when pulled
i also tried a 12v probe to make the pump work and nothing there either
lets hope the pump and the stalk arnt naffed haha
thanks anyway jim
