Windscreen washer pump power supply issues

[Shaun Higgins]

Hi there,

Has anyone had experience with no power to the washer pump on a 2016 zafira ? 

I've had the pump out and connected direct to the battery and it's working fine in forward and reverse, there are no fuses blown so I have connected a multi-meter to the supply wires and I'm getting a reading that jumps between 2.7-4.1 volts which I'm guessing is not right. 

My question is do you think that the  control unit around the steering column where the stalk fits into is faulty ? 

Any advise would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I would look at the earth to the pump when it is fitted to the vehicle and if not good then fit a substitute earth lead to see if that improves the voltage readings
