Doggies not working?

Post by tkmblue »

Hi everyone, I have the problem at the moment that my doggies aren't working? It seems to have power to the switch, tested with a test lamp. Light goes out when u push the stalk in to the doggies but the doggies don't work? Have just put in a new motor, so that's not the issue. Tried different satlks, that doesn't seem to be it. Someone has mentioned something about bad earth? Where is the earth for this?

Hope someone can help me. It the last thing I need for a roadworthy after 2 years of rebuilding.

Cheers

What are doggies?

Autocorrected fog lights?

Checked the earth? Is it terminated somewhere else? Proper connection under voltage?

The doggies are your windscreen washers. I'm pushing the button in to get water but nothing comes out? The wipers are working but not the washer.

Never heard the term. Is the washer bottle pump working? Is the wiring to/from there ok?

If yes

Is there a blockage in the line?
Is there a blockage jets?

Cheers Jonno. Got them working. Wiring was wrong way. Here's another problem for you. Wipers seem to be reverse around? So when the start of they go downwards, and they finish in the vertical position. How do I reverse this from happening? I know there are copper fingers in the motor which depicts where the wiper stops. I can't change this. What needs to be done to get the wipers to start and finish at the bottom?

Ahh at least it was an easy fix :)

This I am not sure...
Have you pulled the motor out before? Somethings back to front there that's for sure.

Yes had the motor out. Might try and turn it around the other way? Worth a go. May not even fit that way.

Hey Jonno. Figured out the wiper issue. I needed to adjust the arm of the motor. Kept tweeting it until it was right. Thanks for your posts. Cheers.
