    Think my washer has packed up, possibly due to frosty weather and motor being tripped accidentaly when using intermittent wipe. Can't even see where it is in the car. Anyone know how difficult it is to fix or replace ?:rolleyes:

    the lines could be just frozen! pour some warm water in the washer bottle.

    dont know what you mean by tripping it while on intermittent........you can spray your windows at any time while the car is on, even during normal wiper use.

    Just activated them when frozen and think I might have damaged motor. Doesn't make any noise when activated.

    i got a similiar problem myself, happened a few weeks before the frost.

    my back washer works, and you can hear the pump running, but the front doesnt work at all. no noise from the pump at all.

    The motor should handle the occasional activation during freezing.
    Wait until the car is proper warm, or has been inside a garage a while, and then try them again.
