Hello,

I have problems with front lights washers and jets.
After I've bought car motors ware missing so I've bought it with washers arms and blades (all set), jets are not working as well. I've replace original wiring (due the cuted plugs) for motors and it still won't work.
Wiring for motors have 4 (3 male and 1 female) connectors but I've not clue where to connect them. Washers fluid bottles are connected with different wiring and there is 1 plug not connected. Jets don't spray either. I think it have some connection with those unconnected plugs.

Please could you post some photos with correct connected plugs or give me some tips how to connect them?

IF the M3 uses the same set up as the facelift cars, then the washers and wipers are part of a package that also includes an intensive main screen wash. It uses a washer tank with two compartments and three pumps, a different wiper control stalk, a control module attached to the washer tank, and a seperate loom, which connects to the car loom on the LH inner wing.

Yes it has intensive main screen wash and it is working fine.
Yes it have 2 tanks.
Yes I've connected wiring plug to some black relay.

And still have 4 plugs not connected ;)

Will post photo today later.

Thanks

Original washer plug connects to a socket on the new loom, and a plug on the new loom goes to the screenwash pump.
This could account for two of them!
