    Headlight washers

    For the headlight and windscreen washers , which pump does what ? I'm assuming the black one with 3 pin plug feeds the windscreen washers?
    Where does the feed for the headlight washers come from ?( I have an earth and pos spade connector )

    Also , are the headlight washers on an ignition feed ? Or do they only work at certain times ? ( i.e. When the sidelights are on )

    Thanks

      As above, only when the side or main lights are on. The headlight wiring loom connector (either the yellow or the green one, dont remember) at the underside of the fuse box has a red wire dangling loose with a white 1pin connector. Thats your power feed.
      They have a separate more powerful pump and cars with factory headlight washers have a larger reservoir on which the two pumps can be fitted.

        Cheers guys , my car had them from factory but weren't working . Both pumps were seized and I've replaced for ones that I've tested on the bench and know work however only the windscreen washers seem to be working

          They have a separate relay in the fuse box.
