Hi Folks, Wipers work fine but cant get the wiper washers to fire. Potable system works on every other feature but the wipers. Wiring on the Wiper control panel is all good. Been through the manual and can't seem to find the solenoid that feeds the windshield washer system from the potable tank. This is on a 2008 360. Manual has a drawing that shows it somewhere below the helm and in back of the shower. I've accessed every hatch in that area with no luck. Grady has been closed all week and I'll try them tomorrow......... But, has anyone with a 360 "been there, done that". TIA

Are you sure there is a solenoid.? My Sailfish operates by a valve that manually opens and closes the washer valve and uses water pressure from the system drive the spray?

My 2007 330 also has a valve at the helm. No solenoid.

Yeah no mechanical valve that I can find. Schematics show a solenoid somewhere. And on the wiper/washer panel it’s a simple “blister” switch or button for the washer. GW should be open today. I’ll give them a call. Thx.

Well here is what I found with the help of Carolyn at the factory. Three 12 volt solenoids, one for each window pane. Goes from blue potable 1/2” tubing to 1/8” tubing ( one per solenoid).
All three are frozen and the Mfg says they are not serviceable. eBay has new old stock (original part number) for $60 bones each.

its a a tight space to work in but doable and the whole assembly came out with three screws. Thx.
