Tank filled, pin down the nozzle seems clean, dash button goes in & the wipe button works...so why no water?!

Pump!!!!!!!!!!!
Because a split pipe would be very obvious if it was at the hinge.

I would assume the op would have heard pump running or not.

Corrosion on the steel disc in the motor gearbox, similar to that which afflicts the intermittent and park functions of the front wipers.
Pull out the switch, connect an earthed wire to the black/purple on pin 6, and try it then.

Connect the earthed wire to the brown/black on pin 8 of the switch.
Looking back at my last post, I didn't make it clear that the earthed wire should be connected to pin 6 (black/purple) with the switch still connected, and used to turn the washers on in the normal way.
Did you do this, or push the wire into the switch's plug with the switch disconnected?

Do you mean 8? or 6? My last post was a different test from the first one.Jungian64 wrote:..I pushed the wire in to pin 8 with switch disconnected.
And what happened?
