The front screen washer pump seems to have stopped working on my wife's P plate Corsa CDX.

The wipers still do the 4 sweeps so its not the stalk/switch.

There is more than enough fluid in the bottle too.

Is the washer pump on its own fuse or anythign daft like that?

What sort of price will I be looking at for a second hand pump if it turns out to be that?

Cheers - Phil.

Take out the pump and bottle, clean out the filter on the bottle, and try and run the pump out of the bottle. Check the connector is on the pump firmly too.

Check to see if you can hear the pump going, check the jets arent blocked up, check the filter between the pump and the bottle (rubber gauze), check for leaks in the washer fluid system, check fuse etc
