Headlight washers

Post by Murphybarnes » Sun Dec 02, 2018 6:35 pm

So today I removed the screen wash reservoir to clean the filters and get some power in those dribbling jets. On completion I notice the headlight washers do not work. I don't think they have worked for a while...even on Super Wash.
Pump is running and can feel the water going through the tubes. Any ideas, for access or where I need to be looking?
Thanks.....

I believe you you need the lights switched on for water to spray and it will only spray on 4 or 5 sprays of the windscreen wipers.

Correct - but I think that should read "only every fourth or fifth spray" - they don't work every time you hit the button. :thumbsup:
