the headlight washers work fine, but when i push the stalk upwards for the windscreen washers, the window wipers go but no water sprays.

i opened the bonnet and tried to spray water again but there is no noise from the pump.

anyone know where the pump is located and is this a common problem?

is it gonna be expensive to fix?

 

if your looking at the front of the car look top left under the hood and there is like a lil flexi pipe bit make sure thats connected first also there could be a blockage i had it on the civic!

 

everything is definitely connected, the pump doesn't sound like it's actually pumping water.

 

It sounds like its knackered then. I had the same problem on my old S2000. A new pump fitted from Honda is

 

have you checked the fuse?

 

nope, where would that be located?

i have no owners handbook or anything at the moment as the guy who owned the car is out of the country and i'll be getting it all when he gets back.

 

Are you pulling the stalk towards you?

 

thats correct pull it towards you to wash the screen, tap it up just to clear screen only.

 

If it turns out to be the pump, that's located behind the offside wheel arch. Not a drama to change, just need to remove the wheel arch liner. If it's the fuse, the pump is probably the cause of the fuse blowing and may need changing anyway. IIRC, there is a Halfords one that looks and fits identically to the Honda part.
Good luck.

 

just tried pulling the lever towards me rather than pushing it upwards, still the same, no noise from the pump. will have the check the fuses tomorrow when it gets light again.
