106 rear washer not working

Hi all

The rear washer on my 1999 106 Zest 3 is the "click switch once to start the
wiper, click and hold another notch to activate pump" type.

Driving home tonight I tried to wash the rear window, but when I pressed the
switch to the 2nd position to activate the pump, the relay used to activate
the front wipers clicked in as though I'd washed the front window. The pump
for either the rear or front screens did not activate. The front
washers/wipers work fine, as does the rear wiper.

I tried it a few times during the journey with the same result.

Any ideas?

TIA

Matt

 

Dead Pump? My 405 estate suffered this last year. Replacement from Neat
(http://www.parts4peugeot.com/)was quite cheap and came quickly. 5
minute job to change.

Could that explain why the front wipers start when I activate the rear pump
though?

Will check the pump anyway.

Cheers

Oops! Sorry Matt, I did not read your post properly.
Does your 106 have separate pumps for front and rear? My Fiesta uses a
common pump which is reverible to wash front or rear. This uses complex
switching at the stalk - maybe yours has a problem with this switching?

I'd check the stalk switching anyway and look in detail at the circuit
diagram (haynes?) to see what might explain the behaviour. Suspect Earth
connections or perhaps a starage effect when multiple fuses protect
common circuits.

Thanks for the reply Bob.

To be honest I don't know whether it's got separate pumps for front and
rear.

I'll check it out and if I have no luck I have a relative who was once a car
mechanic

Cheers
