Washer jets

Hi all, dose anyone know if the power supply to the washer jets under the bonnet are just heaters or do they have some sort of solinoid valve in them. My drivers side won't spray water, I have pulled off the hose and that is clear and pushed a pin in both jet holes but no water comes out.
Any help would be great. Thanks Dave

The electrics are for heating the jets ... in theory ... the still freeze up sometimes. Laughing

The jet will be blocked because inside the jet is a one way valve which is made up of a small red piece of rubber pushed against a spring. When the pump runs, it pushes back the rubber bung against the spring letting water through.

It gets stuck shut sometimes, preventing water getting through.

You can remove the washer jet and using a fine screwdriver, split the unit open from the bottom (you can see the push clips on the outer housing). Once open, then you can fish out the rubber bung and spring using whatever small tool you need. You don't need to refit them, the jet works perfectly well without them rubber and spring.. Clip the unit back together, and it'll work again.

Take care unclipping the jets from the electrics, and removing the hose pipes from the jets ... they seem to bind on very tightly to the plastic, and you can snap the connector off the jet. V8 or else ...

I did that with mine. I removed the rubber bung but refitted the spring.

Works perfectly now.
