HeadLight Washers Stopped Working

Anyone have this problem? They just stopped working, the fuse is fine. Anyone have this issue and been able to fix it yourself without going to the dealership?

Check the fuses first , then check the washer pump in the tank. Make sure the tank does not have a leak.

The windshield washer fluid container goes around the lower fog light / postilion light housing on the driver side.

Check all the connection to the head light washer pump, also make sure no debris clogged the pump or port, can you hear the motor running down near the tank.


Then go to the jets themselves.

Wow, that's a lot of great info, thanks.

I'll have to check back after i've checked everything from your post, i've only skimmed it for now. I know the washer pump for the front and back windows works perfectly, it's only the headlight washers that stopped working. Do you know if they use a separate pump.

yes, there is a separate pump for headlight washers. there is a separate fuse for it (F32?) Moreover there is a dedicated relay in JBE for headlight pump.

IMO the biggest not needed item on a car. In all my years of motoring never had to clean my head lights.
