irononreverse Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've just received some washer jets from the new focus, and they have the plugs for the ehetating element. I'm just wondering how I could wire them in, perhaps rig them up to go on with the heated windscreen or something? Is there a cable that will plug straight in?

Motocrossmad Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 There is no plug n play I'm afraid, attaching to heated front window would work well tho :) I ordered the non heated ones for my car then colour coded them, dont fancy chopping wires just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 I thought I was ordering non heated too, but they arrivreed this morning hmabd have the plugs. I've just tucked them behind the tubing, hopefully they won't rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irononreverse Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 I'm keeping them in case I decide to wire them in further down the line. Heated jets would be a godsend in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coysht Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Are these the ones which mist rather than spray? If so, how much were the heated ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yes theyre the ones that mist, I got mine through D4nz0 on here, cost about £6 for the pair. I'd seen some heated ones on eBay for about £12 which is why I thought these ones were just standard. They do seem to spray just a tiny bit wide so some goes off to the side, but travelling at speed I assume they'll all get directed to the windscreen.

D4nz0 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 The direction of the spray can be adjusted by getting a small pin and sticking it in the jet nozzle and moving it to where you want. The price of these units are going up to around £30 a pair from Ford... thats UNPAINTED! seriously!! I didn't realise you were getting heated ones sent mate.... but nice result for the same pice I guess eh! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 It just seems to be solid plastic for the misters, it's a thin slit where the water comes out of. I'll try tweezing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 From what I've heard heated and non-heated are the same price. £5.86 inc VAT for the pair at Ford dealers. Mine arrived yesterday just need to pick them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motocrossmad Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 hahaha £30 a set, what rubbish. I ordered mine from the fords parts counter at £2.40 each for unheated, the heated were the exact same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyb Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I take the 'new' spray style jets still leave dribbles all down the bonnet after you used them? I wish Ford would mount them off the bonnet the same as Vauxhall and many other car manufactures, one of the few things I don't like about the Fiesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motocrossmad Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 not had any dribbles from mine yet, not that I've noticed anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Mine dribbles like a baby, wasn't quite as drably with the old ones but I much prefers the coverage these musters give, so I'm staying with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
