Hi guys,
I own a Citroen c3 picasso, 09, 1.6 diesel. Recently, my wash/wipe pump stopped working. Wipers activate, but no fluid spraying and no pump sound. I did manage to narrowed it down to a blown fuse.
I found a diagram on Google to locate the fuse in the engine bay, and then bought a red 10 amp mini blade fuse to replace it.
However, when I replaced it. The pump, although now working, didn't seem to be doing the right thing. When I pull back on the leaver, it normally activates the front wash/wipe. Then when I twist the leaver, it activates the rear wash/wipe. But now, both pulling back, and twisting the leaver activates rear wash/wipe only and nothing at the front. Worst still, after I tested it another 3-4 times, the fuse has blown again.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I had the engine off and no key in ignition, and pulled/installed fuse with a pair of long nosed pliers. Does it matter which way round the fuse goes in? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Ray.
