Does anyone know where the washer motor relay is on a phase 1 clio 16v. Am guessing relay because fuse, washer motors and switch are fine.
cheers.

its run through the wiper timer. So if the wipers are ok chances are the relay is fine. check the wiring.

I assume you have tested the motor with a direct feed?

Try another wiper stalk, fiver from a scrappy.

hot wired straight to the battery and the washer pumps worked fine. Also changed the stalk from a scrappy. No joy, unless the new one is faulty also. Will investigate the wiring today if I get time. This is a damage repairable, we have put in new rear quarter. So far I have no front or back washers and no rear window wiper. Hot wired rear wiper motor and its fine. does this shed any light. Cheers Chris.

not really maye, just says to me its a fault with something thats common to them all. Stalk I suppose.

Look at the wiring though, might be melted or split etc

Had a look at the wiper switch connector today. 1 of the posotive feeds going in was dead. Traced it back to a broken wire, cut out the damadged section and replaced with a nice shiny new bit. Jobs a good un.
Cheers Chris.
