Probably, you can get a cheepo on eBay or I believe Halfrauds do a suitable replacement. Headlights on to test, it could be a wiring problem but the only way to test that is to get the pump out and connect it accoss the battery, as it's a pain in the backside to get to you might as well get a replacement and fit it.

It's the wrong fuse box pictured & and the fuse mentioned is a blank !!
look at the smaller fuse box next to battery about 4 inches by 2,got covered in water on testing and can say mine works tooo well

Mine went in for test 3 weeks ago, being a smart arse, I remembered to refit the fuse (and take it out again afterwards).
! so it passed.

Just went out, popped it out and into the smaller fuse box. No change except the first few presses i can hear something else, a louder click. maybe the pump trying to do something and failing.

yes the water bottle is full and the lights were on.

I was excited for a moment then! Thanks anyway guys

Would give the pump a little tap while pressing the button.
