I am a new owner and new to forum. I have tried a search but got no results concerning my inoperative headlight washers. I know from the handboock that the windscren and headlight washers share the same reservoir but do they have separate pumps? My windscreen set up works fine but when I try the headlight wash circuit all I can hear is a click coming from the drivers (RHD) footwell, I presume this is a relay. Any suggestions how to fix this?

 

Has someone removed the fuse in the box under the bonnet?

 

I'll go and check. Thanks Ed

 

To be honest you are better off without them!

 

Worth asking - are you trying with the lights on!

You're going to get really fat from all that popcorn you've been munching recently dude

 

Of course they have separate pumps!

The hadlight washer one is the high-pressure one up top.

First off, can you hear the relay click? if not, I bet someone pulled the fuse!

If it is, take the pipe off the pump (RHS wheelarch, behind the liner) & see if you get drowned.

Alternatively, look for puddles under the front bumper, in case the pipe has blown off.

 

I've just checked mine; there's 12V buzz to the pump, but no squirt.

My windscreen washer one went in the spring!

This has not been a good year for S2K VT.

20/20 hindsight: I should have taken it into the woods & shot it and kept the NSX.

 

Kiwi what am I supposed to do with your reply, you have lost me.
According to my handbook there is only one fuse for "washer" so as the windscreen washer works I assumed the problem is elsewhere. I didn't know there were two pumps so thanks for that, I will check for power reaching the pump and/or pump buzzing. I said in my post that I can hear something clicking in the drivers footwell area, I presume this is the relay clicking. (By the way I did check with the headlamps on) Thanks for the suggestions I have a good idea now what to do. Am I right that there is only one fuse shared by both pumps? Cheers
