Both headlight washers not working

[block]

As the ***le says i noticed today that niether is working. Going to check the fuse tomorrow as they are not stuck and it isnt cold. Any other ideas please? Do they stop working if the water is low or anything?

Thanks in advance.

Paul the feed line for these is part way up the resevoir so that when the fluid gets low enough only the screen washer will work.

try topping up the washer fluid first

I thought it was the other way round see the drawing on Lings items 1 and 10 are for the headlights, 3 and 9 are for the screen.

But try filling up with washer fluid first as Sam says.

If that doesn't work and if it's not the fuse, then it's a bumper off job to get to everything

When the fluid gets low the headlamp washers stop working. The pump for the wsshers are lower on the tank and its designed to save the fluid for the screen. Go with that mate and see how you get on.

picture below is of the water tank when the front bumper is removed.

pump for the headlight wash is the big one (with blutac in the nozzle to stop the water coming out LOL)

pump for the main screenwash is the smaller one on the lower left

if filling the tank doesn't get the headlight wash working, and if it's not the fuse, then bumper has to come off to get to this

Sometimes my own lack of common sense astounds me. Topped up, working.
Thanks all.
