Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2008 Porsche Boxster and cannot locate the windshield washer pump fuse. The fuse chart (in front drivers side fuse box) does not list this fuse. Do you know the location of windshield washer pump fuse? Thanks

My sources don't show a fuse for the windshield washer. It might be shared with other circuits. (The spoiler fuse of my 996 Turbo also is for the engine compartment lid latch circuit. I found this out the hard way when the spoiler was leaking and going up and down crooked I pulled the fuse to disable the spoiler until I could get the spoiler fixed. Was unable to open the engine compartment lid to add oil to the engine until I learned the two circuits shared the same fuse.) Does the headlight washer work? Its fuse is B4. C2 is the heated jet spray fuse. That's all I got.

POST 4Original post

Assuming you have a windshield washer issue, what is the actual issue? If one is spraying and the other is not you might just need to replace the jet/nozzle they become clogged and stop working. Fortunately if this is the case the new 997 part is plug and play with your 987 while the old 996 nozzle is NLA.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Much appreciation. Never thought about the jet nozzle. But, still don't know what fuse is for the windshield washer pump. My Porsche dealer is "iffy" on the subject and national Porsche customer service defers to dealers. What a conundrum! Oh well. May never know unless someone actually knows what row and fuse number on that row.

POST 6Original post

There is not a separate fuse, Power to the pump is supplied from the Body Control Module. When the switch is actuated a signal is sent via the can buss to the body control module to actuate the pump. You need to check for power at the Grey/ Blue wire at the pump connector when actuating the pump, If you have power replace the pump, If not get a professional.
