The fuse went on mine too and didn't squirt out any water from my washer jets. Vauxhall sorted mine out under warranty.

if the jets are blocked, undo a section of the hose and connect a footpump with an adaptor for a ball (usually red plastic cone shaped thing) and give it a blast of air.:thumbs:

Don't know how technically minded you are Oggs, but if the fuse is OK there are some other checks you could carry out before resorting to the main dealer. If you've got a 12v test lamp then check to see if any power is reaching the motor. Pull off the multiplug from the washer motor and check if one of the terminals becomes live when the washer stalk is operated. If it does then the motor is the source of your problem and this would be easy to replace on a DIY basis. If there is no power supply then it would suggest a wiring/connection/switch problem which is where I would tend to give up. Of course, if the car is still under warranty then get it done for free at the dealer anyway!!

rite.....first thing to do is check the washer fluid level.....dnt ask me wer it is on the corsa c....but it shudnt be that hard to find...

if thats alrite go and get yourself a small sewing needle or a very fine pin.....put it in the washer jet(the ones on your bonnet..wiper..where eva they are)....and poke it in and give it a lil wriggle

then try your jets....they shud work now:Dlol...

just make sure if ya use a pin...that the nozzle points onto the windscreen..wer you need it to...rather than pointing to the side of the car...and wetting people:lol::lol::lol::wave:

When I try and spray the windscreen (front & rear) with water nothing comes out the jets. The motor that you can normally hear when you pull back your steering wheel control is not making any noises either. Is there anything obvious i can check like fuses or something before taking it down to vauxhall? :boggle:
