Lights Faulty Headlight Washers

kwokieuk · 17th December 2006, 21:50

I've tried all sorts to figure out the problem with my Headlight Washers. They don't seem to pop out no matter which was i try, fused checked, lights on and follow manual but still nothing. DO you think its the motor gone on the head light washers?

The only thing I would check before taking it to the dealer, would be the fuse.

They should work (if fitted of course) when the lights are on and you operate the windscreen washers for a few seconds (you need to make sure that there is enough fluid in the washer bottle as they pop out under pressure.
If that doesn't do it, a trip to the dealers should sort it. Not the time of year to be without them.

Ive had the same problem, the dealer fix is to add more fluid. There are apparanty 2 take off's for fluid the lower one in the bottle is the screen so it works with low levels of fluid. Make sure your fluid level is topped up sorted mine out

This is probably by design so that when the fluid is low it saves it for just the windscreen. Good idea

The previous generation civic (and the Jazz) both do that.... so when the rear window wash stops working - you know its time to fill the Window Wash Bottle.

(There is normally plenty in reserve for the front screen though!)
