Thread: Woeful washer pump gives it in the rear but not the front

Hi all,

Having a bit of an issue with my front washer pump. (2011 Defender Puma for reference)
When I push the stalk in for the jet to anemically spray the front windscreen, the pump doesn't even turn on so I just get squeaking wipers over a nice dusty shield

Contrastingly, if I press the fluid button for the rear screen - no problems - washer cycles and fluid dribbles like the bladder of a ninety-year old with a grapefruit sized prostate. Just as Land Rover intended.

I've tried replacing the wiper stalk - same issue... I haven't checked power getting to the pump because I figure if rear is working its working... Unless there are two pumps? I even tried a new pump first off to no avail... Gotta stop buying parts before identifying issues...
Any ideas? Sounding like a break in the wire somewhere down the track but that sounds a PITA to identify with it all bundled in the harness

Cheers
Gus

And there it is... Didn't realise there were two! Others hidden in behind
Just changed power lead over and rear pump works with stalk so evidently just a broken pump

Now to try get the bugger out!

Thanks
