Sounds like the jet is blocked and may need unblocking with some fuse wire for it to work.

[jim]

the jet is angled  and difficult to pass a fuse type wire thro,

tried to remove complete fitting but diffuicult in removing wiper arm

 

any ideas

Can you inject a blast of air into the washer jet with something like the compressed air tin that you can use on a computer ?

[jim]

That's great news Jim

Wonder how it blocked in the first place, whether it was calcium in the water or poor quality screenwash depositing residue in the jets?

[jim]

yes i have heard it is the residue of the screenwash additive when the system runs low

 

i am still looking for a centre console withn armrest,

it has been deleted as an exra from honda
