Washer Jets not working, But the pump is!

Mk1 Golf Cabrio 1.8

Hello All

I'm trying to get the windscreen washer jets working on my fathers Mk1 Cabrio and failing heavily.

I've tried running power direct to the pump which got them going so have eliminated the pump and any blocked pipe work.

Checked the fuse as well, no problems their either.

Can anyone suggest the next tests and best method, ie switch, wiring etc. and if this circuit runs through a relay? The markings on the fuse box seem to suggest not?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The problem is usally at the stork end, dirt and fluff gets in there and and stops the connection happening, try having a look there first to see if you can see anything but you may need to remove the steering wheel and covers to have a good look and clean up the contacts.
