Worst ******* invention ever made. Nothing like cleaning your car, drying it, then a bug hits the window so you clean the windshield and then you have washer fluid running all over the bumper and down the side of the car.
The washers do as good a job cleaning the headlights as it would if we all just rinsed our car off with a hose and never used a wash mit and soap.
Thanks for reminding me to pull my fuse when i get it out from under the cover. Id be glad yours arent working.

I didn't know about them for awhile. I would notice at night when spraying the windshield that the headlights seemed to dim. I thought it was a bit ridiculous that something that insignificant would put a draw like that on the electrical system enough to dim them while driving. Until one day I finally discovered why...

Funny story...I was looking at the owners manual, pulled the relay it labeled as the "headlight washer", and turns out it was the wrong one. It was actually the relay next to it.
Took THAT relay into the parts store, and the guy behind the counter said (and I'm quoting for emphasis): "Holy S#!t!". I asked him what was up and he said "it's one forty six". I said "it's only a dollar forty-six??". He said "No.........a hundred and forty six". I'm like "DOLLARS??".
That freakin relay is over $150 with tax.
I decided I like my lights dirty to match the rest of the car.

i dont know if you care or even still have the car. but the entire headlight washer system is very simple. but i found out if you ever replace a headlight or line, or the washer reservoir; you really have to purge the system, because unlike the windshield washer it only pulses the spray. so it take about 5-10 times of hitting the washer button to properly purge the headlight washer.
if you have any questions about it, just ask. i have taken the washer system in and out on these cars a few times and can explain whatever...

well before you start checking into the fuse panel and stuff make sure you have your headlights turned on, NOT the parking lights or not AUTO. I also was having trouble with the washers. They only work if your lights are on. Let me know if that helps.
