So the rear wiper works fine but no motor sound on the wash switch.

Checked fuse and motor all good.
According to the circuit there is a rear wiper relay in the boot side panel but that operates another relay for the rear washer. No manual or Rave shows the location of this relay.
Anyone know where it is hiding please? It is wired so that the screen wash only operates when conditions are met for the wiper to work and the relay would be a good place to check feeds.

Thanks
 
I'd guess the rear screen washer is powered via the CCU, in the same way the rear screen wiper, so having to operate within the same parameters.

It's very possible that the relay you're looking for is integral to the CCU, which means stripping it down for a look. ;)
 
Thanks, I tested for power at the pump motor and nothing. Easy to check while I was fitting the new wheels and tyres.

So today, found relay in my TD4 by listening and feeling whilst pressing rear wash button. It is a yellow relay to right of main inside fuse board.
Went to the G4, no relay clicked. Removed relay and refitted. Relay clicked and motor ran. No wash water!! That was simply a jet blocked due to lack of use I guess.
