Focus 2011 (MK2 ?) Washers stopped working

Hi Everyone,

Owner of a 2011 plate Ford Focus which I believe is a MK2 model.

All of a sudden today when i press the washer jet button on my indicator stalk the washers both front and rear have stopped working. The window wipers operate fine but nothing happens for the washers. I believe the pipes or jet aren’t blocked because when i press the washer button there is no noise to indicate the washer jet is working. Is there a fuse of some sort that controls all the above.

Thanks 

James

    2011 was the changeover year between the mk2.5 and mk3. Easiest way to tell is do Ford still make a similar car lol.

    It'll be a late reg Mk2.5.  The mk3 doesn't have a washer button on the stalk.

    The pump has probably failed tbh.  Fuse is number 136 under the glovebox.

    Yup, definitely check the fuse but I also reckon the pump itself will be the culprit.  The wife's MK2.5 Zetec had to have a new pump fitted as the old one died, having seen what was in the screenwash reservoir and clogging the filter I wasn't surprised the pump failed (it was minging). :sick:

    Probably frozen mines does it all the time.

    Probably a good idea to get some screenwash with a low freezing point if it's a regular issue, especially considering your location!  :biggrin:

    Will be washer pump.  Not a hard job to replace.  The Haynes manual is your friend.
