cs2000 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yes yes yes, another topic on headlamp washers. Just need a bit of advice. I bought the car a few weeks ago during the bad snow we had, the headlamp washers didnt work then but i assumed they were either frozen up or i was operating then wrong. However, its now dried up and got warner and they still dont work. I have checked the washers can come out of the bumper freely (pulling them out by hand), this is fine. I have filled up the washer bottle to the max twice. I have checked the non return valve (the windscreen washers are working fine). I have undone the arch liner to check washer fluid is actually getting the the second bottle which it is. I have operated the washers and made sure theres no random puddles of washer fluid below the car. But no wash I assumed the following was true, but feel free to correct me if im wrong; To operate the washers, turn on engine and hold the washer button (the one doen near the fuel cap release/ESP off button. This should wash the lights, it should then stop when you let go. OR...... Car on, healights on and the washers should operate every 3-4 times you wash the window using the steering wheel stalk things. Nothing seems to work. When i push the washer button (down by the ESP button ) all i hear is a slight click noise from over by the passenger front light which is where the headlamp washer motor is if im not mistaken, sounds almost like a relay. Im leaning towards the washer pump being duff but wanted someone opinion who has had the car for more than 3 weeks like myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig79 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Take it there isn't a designated fuse for these washers - if so have you checked that? You've done everything I would have tried tbh ? Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 HeadLights have to be on even if you use the button down by the ESP button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 To operate the washers, turn on engine AND HEADLIGHTS and hold the washer button (the one down near the fuel cap release/ESP off button). This should wash the lights, it should then stop when you let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs2000 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Il try it again tonight doing that! otherwise im guessing the pump is dead, or maybe fill of limescale or something as i hear a click noise when i press the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
