Water jets not working on 2008 ford focus titanium

The washer jets on my Ford Focus 2008 TDCi are not working.

I've had diagnostic tests completed by two Ford dealers. One tells me there has been water ingress into the car through the bulkhead seam (they think) and say the GEM module, wiring harness and loom need replacing.

The second Ford dealer tells me that there is water ingress and the central junction box needs to be replaced, along with the wiring harness.

I am now very confused as to who to believe. What would you suggest?

Well both of then agree that you need to renew the wiring harness. I suggest maybe that you approach either one of them with the others solution and ask them why they are different. Then if they say that their diagnoses is the correct one, then let them carry out the repair on the understanding that if it doesn't work/or fails that you will not pay until it is repaired correctly
