Whats this plug?

Stev190 · 1st June 2012, 18:16

Hi, does anyone know what this plug is for? I have a MK2 2004 MG ZT 190 SE - Its next to the washer bottle which also now sprays very weakly. Any ideas where it goes? (Car has fogs, headlight washer jets)

Thanks.

Firstly

Probably headlight washer pump electrical feed.

Thanks for the welcome! Is there a newbie section?

From the underside gaurd the wire does not seem long enough to reach the headlight, could it be the screenwash level sensor?

Don't know what the plug is, but of you take your pump out (just pushes in and out the hole) you will find a rubber top hat with little holes in.
I guarantee it's blocked.
Mine was SOLID , 2 mins to clean , now the washers are great.

Isn't it the level sensor plug.

Perfect picture! From the picture it looks like tere are 3 plugs, what are they from left to right? I did not see the full wash bottle as bumper was still in place.

Level plug, screenwasher pump, headlamp washer pump.

Think you should have it from the other posts but is does look like the plug for the washer level sensor, which is in the bottom left of your pic. I'm surprised you haven't got a low washer fluid warning on your dash to go with the wiring being unplugged?

The sensor has probably failed bringing the light on and disabling the head lamp washers so it's been unplugged

Plug it back in and I'm sure the light will come on
