Headlamp Washer Stuck

[Sphinx]

hi

When the headlamp wash activates the passenger side one doesn't go all the way down. I have to manually lift it up and push it down.

Is it an easy fix?

Thanks

could be the cold weather, when it freezes it can cause it to stick.

prob needs some lube, but yes the weather could be a factor atm
when i lifted mine to clean them (i didn't clean very often) there was an awful lot of grime and dirt in there, I'm sure they were spring loaded to some degree...

It's the freezing weather we all suffer from this.

To avoid the headlamp washer operating after dark, switch the headlamps off, then clear your screen.

Yep John is correct if the washers are used when the temp is 0'c then in the morning the washers will freeze.

thanks for the info.

Will give them a lube and see what happens.

Had another look at this today and the passenger side is definately catching on something. Feel more loose than the drivers side. I can actually lift up the headlamp washer with my fingers, the drivers side one is tighter and doesn't budge.

Tried spraying some WD40 but it made no difference.

Do I have to take the bumper off to re-seat it?
