Default MY04 headlight washers

Annoying 04 Headlamp Washers

MY04 cars come with the fantastic feature that means the headlamp washers come on
when you clean the windscreen, causing the passengers to get a soaking!
There is a bulletin that covers the change from 03-04 model year.
The symptom it corrects is when you activate the screen washers, the headlamp washers
also work, irrespective of whether the headlamps are on or not.
Only certain chassis ranges are afftected and the fix is customer complaint only and only
for the duration of the manufacturers waranty.
If the sympton is one you are experiencing and your car is still under warranty, ask your
dealer to look up bulletin HUK 521 dated 02.12.04.
This bulletin does not apply for 05 model year on as they are already modified.
Has anyone found or know of the solution to this problem?

Thanks

Can you be more clear with the problem? The issue is the headlight jets shoot when the windshield jets shoot, regardless if the lights are off?

Yes exactly that. Looking that the document from Honda, it seems all 04 S2000's do it?

I'm not sure what the solution was if 05+ don't do this, but I'd look into what might have changed. Have you tried the UK forum here to see if anyone has an answer? NA cars don't have the washers so many people won't have an answer.

Ok thanks.

I think I can remove the fuse to the headlight washer pump, I never aim to use them anyway

Yeah, you could simply cap the tubes right? Or just unplug the pump.

I think I'd remove them, I kind of find them to be rather ugly in appearance, so if they don't work all that well they'd be gone from my car. You won't find too many answers here as North Americans didn't get the washers, you might get a better response from the European forums.
