Headlight washers

[jimjamjohnny]

 

Hi

Used my car for the first time in three days 

And when I got home I noticed one of my head light washers has remained in the up/on position.?

I don't remember even using them or turning them on!!!!!

I've pushed the dash button but nothing happens.

Any ideas guys and girls 

Many Thanks

As water turns to ice it expands so maybe it's pushed itself out/up? It would also explain why pushing the button does nothing, if the water has frozen in the pipes and/or internals of the washer. Maybe wait for warmer temperatures and hope that sorts it out?

Yep most likely is the above in the recent cold weather. 

Make sure you get some screenwash that is rated down to -15 atleast.

If your headlights are on and you use the windscreen washers, the lights will also get washed at the same time. Just once though.

So are they just pressure fed.?

Seems strange that it's just one.

Maybe that is what I did this morning then........
