Windscreen washer — removal and installation (Renault Symbol 2)

Some car models are equipped with a dual washer pump (windshield and rear window). The water supply to the washer nozzles depends on the power supply to the pump terminals. When +12 V is supplied to terminal "2" and terminal "1" is grounded, water flows from the pump output (A) to the windshield. When the polarity of the power supply is reversed, water flows from the output (B) to the rear window.



On models without a rear window washer, +12V power is supplied to terminal "2", terminal "1" is grounded.





The car is equipped with a windshield washer with an electric pump (Figure 8.49) bidirectional action with the ability to supply fluid from the reservoir to the washer of either the windshield or the rear window, depending on the voltage on the two contacts of connector 5.
