Rikos Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Could be the motor, could be a fuse, could be the stalk itself. O and welcome to the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikos Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Fuses are normally under the glove box and in the engine bay. Best bet for a motor would eBay but depends if you want a new one or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxerboi Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 my fuse box is well confusing lol, and looks like theres loads missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikos Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Not all the fuses will need to be filled as some of them will not be on your car. Should tell you what they are for on the cover of the fuse box or in the handbook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerboi Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 i found the problem! where the fuse goes has been melted does that effect the relay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret_Stig Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Sounds like the motor/washer pump if there is no noise then its prob going to be that, check the motor see if theres any power going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikos Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 i found the problem! where the fuse goes has been melted does that effect the relay? Well thats not good! If it's melted then i would imagine that would effect the relay yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 more to the point what caused it to melt in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerboi Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 dont have a clue, previous owner had a amp and sub in boot and some wiring goes through to the fuse box, might of been putting out to much power of something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxerboi Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 i dont know anything about eletrical stuff, so dont know, can it fail its mot because the back wiper aint working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikos Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Not entirely sure, they do check the wipers and i would imagine it may fail as they would class it as not being safe. Although some cars dont have a rear wiper so they may not include it in the test. But its like a third brake light, it's not illegal if you havent got one but it is if you have one and its not working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
