With the circuits on, my washer jets are continuosly spraying. I've changed the pump, without success, so is it likely to be the electrical connector or something in the windscreen washer stalk? Or something else?

Wipe/wash control module in the fusebox is the most likely, although a wiring or stalk problem is possible.

Just unplugging the module will check if it's the problem. Washers should still work on the stalk with it out, but the wipers won't.

haha, that would be amusing if someone was across the road looking at ya at the lights, could be annoying for people behind you if the jets were abit out of focus :D

Got to love the e30s little electric habits, they work in funny little ways
