Front Wash/Wipe not working
Afternoon guys,
2014 Caddy 1.6 TDI
I currently have no wash facility on my front wipers. When I pull back I hear nothing and get no washer fluid coming out. Initially I thought it was just frozen up and I might of tried to use it while frozen.
I’ve looked for a diagram of the fuse layout and don’t see a fuse for the washers. Also reading along the lines on the Ross Tech forum there is talk that the washers are no cover by a fuse? Surely this is wrong.
Wipers are working as they should. I just have no wash. Can any advise if there’s a fuse and which one it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Carl

Re: Front Wash/Wipe not working
@katiecaddy had the same issue the other day. I was going to link to it but I can’t find the thread.
I’m not sure if she got it fixed but if you can find it, it may be worth a read.

Fuse 50
20 amp
Depending on year,
https://fuse-box.info/volkswagen/volksw ... 2015-fuses
Best to just check every fuse anyway

Re: Front Wash/Wipe not working
[mention]Cabbs [/mention] this happened to me during the cold weather, naturally assumed the jets had frozen, got home early 1 day & decided to check them, jets were fine but when pulling the stalk couldn’t hear the pump, checked all fuses & they were fine so assumed the pump had burnt out, pulled out the drivers side fog light grill to gain access to the pump, tapped it a couple of time with a screw driver handle & ta da all working fine now, must have just jammed in the cold weather.

Thanks Katie.
I think although it’s the same problem mines different with it being a 2014 and your being a later van. I’ve checked every last fuse in mine and non are blown.

Have you pulled the pump out to make sure it is turning freely?

Re: Front Wash/Wipe not working
To be fair that's why I linked the 2011-2015 page but I'm glad you found the fuses anyway

Re: Front Wash/Wipe not working
Sorry you confused me with this,
I thought you couldn't find the washer fuse so I supplied you with info of which fuse and a link for the fuse layout for vehicles 2011-2015 as you said yours was a 2014.
You then repeated yours was a 2014 so my info wasn't any use so I replied the info was for your year but was glad you got it sorted anyway.
I'm not sure what you was requesting anymore, my bad, sorry for any mix up,

Re: Front Wash/Wipe not working
Just to add in something here for clarification, you mentioned that on the Ross-tech forum someone said there was no fuse! There's always a fuse. Even the smallest circuit has a fuse. It might be joined in with something else but it'll deffo have a fuse.
