Picasso prob....any idea's
AndyW - 18/7/09 at 09:44 AM

Have not had time to look at it yet but the wife car has a little prob which I need to sort soon. Its 2001 Picasso. Problem is that when you go to wash the windscreen the wipers sweep as normal but the water comes out the rear screen jet and not the front!! When you wash the rear screen that works as normal. Any Idea's before I start?

Cheers in advance

Hi, sounds like a faulty wash / wipe switch.

some french cars use 1 pump for both with a switch over valve in the pump
if it only has one
pump then it will prob need pump

French car electrics are ****

Could be a bad earh connection at the pump/valve.

Likely to be a faulty valve in the pump

Most likely want a new washer pump mate.most cars now only use one a have a valve which controls flow dependant on which way the
pump is goin

as others have said it will be a faulty pump

they arent that expensive to replace
