Windscreen Washer Nozzle Motor (r33)

[dave_rb20]

hey guys,

the front window washer motor in my r33 isn't working

these are the two small cannisters on the outside of my windscreen washer bottle im pretty sure these are the culprits

i have pulled the wires out and cleaned them with electrical contact cleaner

there are no blockages in the line (can blow through hose and water in bottle bubbles)

the rear functions fine but you can't swap the plugs around to test the front because the prongs are different

i undid the 3bolts that hold the bottle in but cant figure out how to get the motor itself off, any ideas?

also are these motors the same in any locally delivered cars or still available from nissan? part #?

what are the odds if i get one from a wrecker it will be broken too?

thanks heaps

ps sometimes i wonder if im the only person that has such random problems with cars hahah

could just be that the motor is dead, or just blocked.

With the bonnet up you should be able to hear the pump motor running when you switch the washer on from the steering column.

Pull the wiring connector off and check it with a multimeter while activating the washer switch - could be a blown fuse.

If the pump is dead you can just prise it away from the bottle with a screwdriver. The pump is just held in by the edges of the recess in the plastic bottle, and has a plastic pipe that goes into a rubber grommet.

Pretty sure I got a generic replacement pump from either Supercheap or Repco ages ago. Take your water bottle in with you to make sure the replacement pump will push into place.

hey all,

I just back from 9 weeks overseas and i have the same issue now. What has been the cause of everyone's problems with the front washer??

obviously want to get this fixed as soon as possible.

regards, matt

Yeah the pumps just push into a rubber seal. So either buy a new one, or get one from a wrecker.

Also, sometimes polish builds up and hardens inside the squirter on the bonnet. Stick a pin in there to clear it out. But as far as i know, you can actually move the squirter around, so test it to make sure it still squirts the window and not the dude behind you haha

same issue here with the motor being dead...anyone clarify if it is just a generic motor or not??

Both motors have since died on my car.....so the mission began.

Repco had nothing in stock that fit at all, nissan wanted $70 and $75 each......

so i ended up at Bursons, where i found the closest possible thing.

NICE products NWP1600, which fits and looks original other than the fact that the pipes come out of the other side of the pump motor, but it was easy enough to retrofit the hoses to fit.

One of the plugs fit fine onto the replacements, but for some reason Nissan decided they needed 2 different plugs......so the other was just a retrofit with blade plugs.

finished product looks close enough to stock and all purchased off the shelf on the day..... $40 total sure beats $145 + postage + waiting time.....

all in all quite the ordeal just so i can see while driving.....
