Headlight washers and low washer fluid level warning

[RanjS8]

Just to fill you in....

In the washer bottle there are two pumps....one for the windscreen washers and the others for the headlight washers.

There is pipework which goes from the headlight washer pump to the headlight washers. There is a push fit connector between the headlight washers and the pipework from the pump.

Now when the bumper is removed this pipework can get disturbed, or the headlight washer may not be sitting properly in the connector, and therefore leading to a leak. In which case washer fluid will leak out to a level where it is just below your leak point.

That is why the fluid level warning light is on, but u still have fluid in the bottle.

My hunch is that when the bumper was put back on the car, either the washer pipe was not connected properly or the headlight washer was not sitting properly in its connector.

You know the headlight washer pump is working because you will hear the motor running when you pull on your headlight washer stalk.

Good luck.....hope this helps


ps....its really easy to break those pumps when you are pulling it out of the bottle...done it once myself.....cos they are lodge in really tight
