Headlight washer motor

Where is it? I need to to find it, is not working.

I "believe" it's attached at the bottom of the washer fluid reservoir.

You have a headlight washer on your 80



I got gypped

Yep!!! now is that motor under the reservoir the same for the windshield?? Because the windshield washer is working, maybe the motor is Ok, and the switch is busted.

Head Light Washer

The washer motor for the headlights is a seperate motor fited into the side of the washer tank through a rubber seal. Definitely a different motor than the windscreen washer pump.
Mine was rotted to bits so I filled it up with silicone and refitted it. I just use the hose to wash the lights now.

Cool, I'll dig out the motor this weekend

Just did this...

remove your fuse box

remove side mount bolts for washer resevoir

remove mounting bolt for lower pump motor from resevoir

twist and pull pump motor housing with gasket - found this easy enough.

don't loose the pieces from the pump intake as you may just be plugged and pump may still be ok.

did you check for any power draw when you apply your switch? I could notice a draw but no water spray so traced it to the gunk in the pump.

Cheers
