My Windscreen washer has stopped working, and as I have an imported car I can't read the fuse box lid to check which fuse it is. I have checked them all but can't see a blown one. Anybody with 94 wrx wagon could you please help with the fuse location.

Thanks

Try fuse 14, if memory serves.

Can't see there being much difference between a leggy n impreza.

Strange that, mine's stopped working too!

Checked the power at the washer with a multi-metre and there was none. All the fuses seemed ok and everything else seems fine but I shall check fuse 14. AS a stop gap I might splice the water supply from the rear wash-wipe to do both or front only.

Any other suggestions?

Crappy conectors.
Just surface corrosion really, but it creates havoc.
Get the same problem on my Pug.

I have tried the plug, it was corroaded but I have soldered on new connectors. The motor works straight from the battery so it's not that. If you test each lead with the battery + they show 12v, but they don't have continuity with earth?

There must be someone with some diagrams out there, what I need to know is where do the leads go into the fuse box, plug number etc, and how the circuit works, you would expect the washer switch to create an earth, or supply the power and squirt the washer, but I don't think it's that simple. There must be someone on the forum that works at a dealers and can offer some advice.

Please

I have got it working again with some help from Kev at Scooby Clinic. It turns out it was the **** on the controls!! The wash doesn't work whrn you pull the stalk forward but a press of the button on the end of the stalk operates the washer.

Dooh

Thanks for anybody that offered advice.
