- Faulty Front Window Washer Pump: The front window washer pump is responsible for pushing washer fluid through the washer nozzles onto your windshield. If the pump is faulty, it may be drawing too much current, causing the fuse to blow.
- Damaged or Blocked Washer Nozzles: The washer nozzles are responsible for spraying washer fluid onto your windshield. If the nozzles are damaged or blocked, fluid could be directed back towards the pump making it work much harder than necessary, causing the fuse to blow.
- Wiring Problems: Worn, frayed or otherwise damaged wiring could cause a short circuit, leading to a blown fuse.
- Faulty Washer Switch: The washer switch activates the washer pump and controls the flow of fluid. A faulty switch could be sending constant power to the pump, causing it to overheat and blow the fuse.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- To identify the root cause of the fuse blowing, start by inspecting the washer pump and nozzles for any signs of damage or blockage.
- Check the wiring for any visible signs of damage or fraying. If the pump, nozzles or wiring look okay, you may want to consider replacing the washer switch or washer fluid.
- If you are still experiencing the same issue, it is best to consult with a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
