Trouble with windshield wiper fluid motor

[pitbill]

Hi all- i just picked up a leftover 13 SHO for an unreal price, but i had to travel 3 hours to get it but is was well worth the ride. Today when i went to spray my windshield with the wiper fluid nothing happened. Does anyone know what fuse number this would work off of. I looked at the owners manual and cant find it and i'd prefer to replace it and see if that's the issue before taking it to a local dealer. The wipers work fine, the auto wipers work fine, and intermittent wipers also work fine. Any ideas?? So far this car has been a joy to own, i cant get the smile off of my face, and this is a guy who just turned in his 2011 535i lease.

Its not the fuse as the same fuse controls the wipers and the pump motor.

I agree. I hate it when people seek help/advice and fail to post up results. :thankyou:

I have the same problem with mine.

Yep had the same problem, and the tech bulletin they left in my car said never to never use the washer button if the low washer fluid warning light comes on. Doing so will shorten the life of the washer motor.
