Default Washer pump won’t turn off

Washer pump permanently on, causing the wipers to also be on permanently. I’ve pulled the both the wiper and washer fuses and the wash relay, but no joy. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I’m going to pull bumper off at weekend to check wiring.

I have seen wipers activating a few times Nigel, that's usually a canbus or a bcu issue, I have not seen the washer pump running constantly though?

Did you try swapping the relays to rule out one of them sticking?

Thanks Andy, was just going to message I just pulled the washer relay. The wipers have been acting up intermittently for a while now, goes weeks without issue. Lynns using the 75 at moment, so I only find these things out when I take it out. It does coincide with rain, and I have sprung a leak which I haven’t had a chance to trace. Hope that makes sense
