How to tell if the windshield washer pump is not working

Model: Fiat Ducato MK 2 - Years 1993-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we will see how to verify that the windshield washer pump is working. In this case, the test is being conducted on a Fiat Ducato X244, but it can be done on any vehicle. We will need two cables and a light bulb. We connect the cables, one to a ground and one to the positive pole, and place the light bulb in a spot where we can see it well while we go to make contact with the dashboard. By moving the pump control from the dashboard, we see that the light bulb lights up, so the current to the pump is reaching it; therefore the problem is the motor that is not working. It's not a great consolation, but at least we have identified the issue.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
