Hi

Neither of the headlamp jets on my 2006 Td6 is working. The windscreen washers are working fine. I checked the fuse and that's ok so can anyone suggest other areas to check, please? I assume that the motor on the headlamp washer pump has failed but I don't know how the washer system is configured or where to look.

All help greatly appreciated, as always.

Many thanks

Barry

blockage rather than electrical

or pipe off somewhere? Cheers

If you find the washer bottle filler and look down below it with a torch you'll see the washer bottle. you might be able to get access to the plug on the head lamp washer motor by taking the wheel arch liner out. If you un plug it you should be able to test if there is 12v getting to the motor when someone switches the washers (nb the headlights also need to be on to make the headlamp washers work.)

Also worth checking is some cars the head lamp washers only fire every x number of times you use the screen washers, and only when the headlamps are on. On my Jaguar for example they only operate every 6th time the screen washers are used, and they are disabled when the washer fluid level is low (so that the screen wash is prioritised with the water that's left)

Thank you James and ZB. I'd read somewhere about the H/Ls having to be on, and the intermittent use, but have tried those and nothing's happening! I'll make some time this weekend to do some peering around for this washer and motor.

Best regards

Barry

BTW, I treated the old girl (113k miles) to an expensive detailing, cleaned alloys and new wheel nuts and locking nuts this week. She looks GREAT (except for the washers ... and the rear camera ... and the non-lifting steering wheel).
