Hi All. Apologies if I this has already been asked on the forums before, I have been searching for what feels like days at this point and have not found anything of use.
I've been having issue with my headlight washers on my 2004 E85 Z4 3.0i SE.
When I first came to own the car I know that the pump worked, and both washers fired. However, the passenger side washer jet was leaking severely, which is where I left the issue for several months. When I finally got round to ordering a replacement jet from BMW and fitted it, I found that there was no life in either of the washer jets. I assumed it was the pump, so ordered a new pump and fitted it, but even after this I still had no joy. I checked the fuse which was all good, and even tried swapping in a new one for the sake of it. After this I thought that perhaps the mesh filters in the washer reservoir could be gunked up, so removed both pumps and mesh filters and cleaned them thoroughly, hoping that this would coax the washer jets back into life. Still nothing. I can hear that the pump is not firing at all, which has me baffled as I know the fuse is okay and the pump has not seen any use at all and is pretty much brand new.
Is there any other part that could be faulty causing the pump not to fire? Perhaps a relay that could be faulty, or one of the cars ECU's perhaps?
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
