    Headlight washers quit working???

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So the other night i was driving on the highway and my washer fluid ran out so i went to the gas station to refill it and when i did i noticed that my headlight washers were not working anymore... Did this happen to anyone else? I mean right b4 i ran out it worked just fine and then it stopped? Is there a way to see maybe hoze burst or something froze? As far as i know they are pressure activated and not mechanical so could it be pressure pumps? I mean both at the same time tho?

    may be air bubble in the line?

    Check for leak. If burst line, you should see leak. I am guessing may be air in the line. See whether you can lube the washer nozzle piston. I have a spare washer nozzle in good working condition.

    They are activated by pressure (which is considered mechanical), but they have to be electronically controlled. They only activate when the headlights are on, so there's an electronic signal.

    Did you have your timing belt done recently by any chance?
