Kia Sorento Diesel - Kia Sorento Windscreen Washers not working - bazza1950

I have recently replaced the pump to the washer bottle on my Kia Sorento as well as checked all electrical connections.

The wipers work fine, but Im still getting no water onto the screen from the washer.

I cant hear the pump working despite all connections being sound.

Any suggestions?

If the pump is working,and no water is coming out the jets,then you must have blockage somewhere in the pipework.

Just a thought,Check for a filter in the washer bottle,ie the mount for the pump maybe the filter,if the pump has no mounting then filter may be elsewhere.

Since you say you cannot hear the motor running, are you sure there is current getting to the motor? Check the fuses first, then borrow a meter or connect a 12v bulb across the two wires to the pump, if the bulb lights when you operate the washers then you have power.
