Rear Wiper and Front washer jets - Not Working

Post by Kpowell911 »

Hello, Ive developed a bizarre problem on my 2012 Scirocco Bluemotion. My front washer jets and rear wiper doesnt work. There is no noise or anything to suggest the motor is working. Front wipers work fIne when the Stalk is pusbed down. Everything else works as it should Ie, The boot release, Horn and Cigarette lighter

Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

There is no fuse, so try disconnecting the battery for a period and reconnecting to see if reseting the ECU fixes it.

Could it be the stalk? Cause you obviously pull forward for front jets, push back for rear wiper. Seems to be ironic that movement is responsible for both the issues I have?

If as you say, the front wipers are operating when you activate the front washers by pulling the stalk then I doubt it's the stalk at fault.

I’ve had same issue. My front ones don’t work but rear works fine! PH forum suggested it would be covered under warranty? Is this the case? Mines a 2016 GT
