Default Windscreen washers

Hello everybody

1987 320i E30

Apart from the pump, what should I check to fix windscreen washers
that stopped working some time ago ? The wipers work fine.

Is there a relay somewhere ? I can't find any help in Haynes.

Thanks for any pointers.

The large black relay in the fuse box controls the wipers and washers.

Thanks, but the wipers work OK. Is that significant ?

Thanks again

Perhaps the washer jets are clogged. Those things can be cleaned.
