Default Intercooler Waterspray not working!

Hi guys,

My intercooler waterspray isn't working on my type R! Does anyone know where the fuse is located (if there is one) ????

Cheers

Update! When you press the manual button i can hear something like a relay working from towards the passenger side! So looks like its getting power!?!?

Maybe the pumps broke!?!?

Why not check all the pipes and unions by unplugging from the pump, then systematically one by one replug each section back in in turn, to try to ascertain where the blockage is sited? It could be the pump knackered - pull off pipe at the pump and check pressure of water coming out when pressing the switch, etc...

Is prop grit lodged in a pipe.

Fixed!!!

Took all the pipes off and the longest one around the engine bay seemed to be blocked a little so i blew that through but it still didn't work! So i went and bought a new motor and it worked!!

Cheers for the suggestions!!
