Windscreen Washers
I have a K reg XM 3.0 V6 SEi and my windscreen washers (Front) have stopped working. Do you know if they have a relay fitted and if so, where is it located. All fuses are good. Thank you. Andy B

No sound from pump as far as I can hear, but wipers are a bit noisy. I do not want to remove the pump and hoped the washers had a relay that was faulty but not sure if they have. Tank is full and no leaks. I noticed that when I operate the washers, the clock dims. Bad earth? Faulty pump? Any ideas welcome.

Do you know where the pump is located? I think it is in the front nearside wing. If the rear washers are working, swap the washer tubes round on the pump, then try washing the rear, if water comes out of the front jets you will know that the tubes are clear, if not they may be blocked or that the tube may be kinked and stopping the water flow. Then try using the the front washers, if water comes out of the rear jet, then you will know that the pump is ok.

Got into mechanic mode and took out the washer bottle. Two pumps are fitted. One for front and one for back. Tested both pumps and found the front pump not working. New pump bought today (£14.69) and I will fit it tomorrow. Why could it not have been a wire off or a bad earth under the bonnet. I do like Citroens but I am unable to understand why they fitted these pumps in such a stupid position?
