BMW 325i window washer motor Sign In

My son has a 1989 BMW 324i. The window washer does not work. When the hood is opened and the washer is tried, there is no noise from the window washer motor. It appears that the motor is never turned on, although no electrical trouble shooting has been done. Is there a fuse somewhere for this window washer motor that we can check or how else should I go to check out the electrical stuff. Is it common for an electrical problem to cause this or is it more common for the window washer pump motor to go bad? I think that the maintainence on this car has not been too good. It still had the original timing belt installed, which I replaced. I think it should have already been replaced three times.

Second problem, when operating the car, a light on the dash lights up saying "brake rotor" or "brake lining". I can't remember which but there is only one light. I would go look at it but the car is about 800 miles from where I live. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.

If there is power and ground to the washer if you want they sell generic in line washer motors that work pretty good from even WallyWorld for about $10bucks!

Brake warning wear indicator is usually a wire in the lining that when it wears so that it can ground it sets it off. I suppose it would go off no matter where it grounded so just take a look around there, T
