Hi all,
Today I thought my washers had run out of water and so i refilled but unfortunately they didn't work, when I got home the fluid level was still full so I suspect a fuse or washer pump.
Does anyone know the location of the fuse ? The wipers still work so I think the wipers and the washers are on separate circuits, not being able to buy a Haynes manual is pretty frustrating to say the least as testing / fixing simple issues like this is a lot easier if you know where to look !
All input welcome,
Mark

I think there is a layout in the owner's handbook if you have one.
If not it should be F3, a 10A fuse. Fuses have been known to blow in the past on the washers if the water is frozen when activated, so check your additive level.

I sometimes think that my washer pump fuse has blown, because I have a full reservior and the wipers are working, but usually the problem is just that there is a very long delay in the water reaching the jets from the reservior. I once nearly started looking under the bonnet for the pump fuse, but tried my washers one more time, and they worked!

Hi Jim
My first Berlingo was like that, a simple non return valve would of cured it, but I never got round to looking for one.

Make sure you pay particular attention to fitting the fuse box cover on exactly right. They are prone for water ingress, resulting in a very large bill ?
