Weak washer jets since my fuse box was replaced??

puddy

The other week I had a terrible time with a non functioning car, had to call the AA twice due to misdiagnosis and it turned out to be a corroded fuse box. All was well once changed. However, since then, I have noticed very weak washer jets. One of them gets to the same height they used to but the other 3 dont. We have tried to see if they are blocked but they dont seem to be.

Bizarrely, the other change since being messed about with, is that the car seems to have internal condensation when it never did before, but I cant believe this is related to the fuse box..

Anyway, its the washers that are concerning me, why would this happen?

You've got a leak.

One of the washer pipes my have been kinked?

On the condensation, Has the airflow from outside been set to 'recirculate'?

Don't know what car but if the tubes run anywhere near the fuse box they may be pinched or kinked. Also on some cars the fuse box pass's through the body work. There is a sometimes a seal which seals around the fuse box and the body. If your car has one it may be leaking.

Was the fuse box corrosion originally caused by a leak from the washer tubes?

puddy

not that i know of, however, i will check the tubes as havent really had a look at them. didnt think to look at the 'recirculate' thing, so will do so tomorrow

Check the path of all the tubes and check at the joints in the tubes when using the squirter, look for leaks, kinks. They may go behind the felt on the under side of the bonnet, in which case, do your best with a torch etc.


Wet feet cause wet carpets cause condensation, or it could just be a door/sunroof/boot leak

If I had £1 for every time i'd heard a similar sentance I'd have retired years ago!

Weak washer jets probably means you've put washing up liquid (or cheap Halfrauds screenwash) in the reservoir and it's blocked them up.

neither,but thanks

It's actually called a "coincidence", the jet will be blocked, not allways easy to sort, but what is?;)
