Fiat Ducato Screen Pump Success

Just something you may want to tuck away for future reference.

We have an Adria Twin and yesterday the screen washer pump stopped working. So, out with the metre; 12v at the lead terminals so it’s probably a problem with the pump itself.

With a little fiddling I was able to detach the pump from the water container. Put 12v directly across the pump – no go. Drat! And of course it’s a sealed unit. £ signs start appearing in my brain – how much is a screen washer pump for a 2007 Fiat Ducato??

Brain wave, I wonder if it’s just stuck? It does happen. Two sharp taps against the garden wall. 12v directly across the pump again – it works! Reinstate everything – operate the pump from the dashboard, several times – still working. Wallet saved.

So if you washer pump packs up it may be worth giving it a couple of sharp knocks, in situ initially.

I’m not saying that this is a permanent cure but who knows?
