MOT time is near so i thought i would swap out my washer jets for some that actually work. No problem there until i pressed the rear washer. Pressing this switch caused all my dials to die.
I checked the fuses and the one marked "STOP" had blown. What is this fuse for and why would this happen? Oh and my rear washer does not work. any common problems that i can check?
Also..will it fail the MOT for not having a working rear washer?

I'm sure you only need front wipers and washers for MOT
i dont have a rear wiper or a washer. i dont think you need the rears for the MOT
you don't need a rear wiper for a mot ( i don't ) if in doubt remove the rear wiper and motor, thay can't check what's not there.
the fuse that's marked "stop" runs the rear washer pump - gauges(clocks) - brake lights - reverse lights and something thing else think it's the cigarette lighter. sounds like your pump no good, a quick test is to connect the front washer motor, see if that blows the fuse
where is the rear washer motor located? is it under the scuttle panel near the front washer motor?
yes both motors are on the same tankOriginally Posted by adscan
i have replaced the motor and now it is spinning as i can hear it. The fuses are all okay too but still got no water on the back screen.
i tried blowing through the pipe but cant get anything through it. all i can see is a little bit of wet on the rear jet. maybe this is blocked?
anyone got a rear screen jet knocking about?
