Heated Washer Jets...constant 12v

Recommended Posts

So today I fitted some new heated washer jets to the VR. Disappointed that I had to dismantle the connectors to get them to fit, so I took the opportunity to take apart and clean the incoming connection side. All Looks great I thought, put my tester on and it has a constant 12 volts !!! With ignition on.

So, is this on a timer. .... I thought they would only work when squirting the front jets. I've read that some say it comes on with the heated rear window.

Definitive answer for a 95 VR greatly appreciated, especially a wiring diagram so I can look deeper into this.

I'd always assumed they would always be on. Timer or rear screen probably wouldn't keep them defrosted enough.

Seems I've found the answer in the handbook. ... I would not have expected that due to Battery drain.

Could anyone check theirs just to see if it's 12v constant with the ignition on, please.

Although I can't see the book being wrong

Not sure what you mean by battery drain. They are only on with the ignition on, so mostly when the engine is running, and won't draw enough for normal ignition on, engine off, sitting around.

My battery drain is only when I'm tinkering with car. Its not road worthy yet so I'm forever testing circuits and have the ignition on, that's all. One day after its been painted I may get to actually drive it without much worry
