Default Killing the Headlamp Washers

This may sound like a stupid question, but I can't tell which fuse to remove to prevent the headlamp washers from working.

Does anyone know - I think one or two have already done this,

Thanks

Open up the bonnet. Look up by the windscreen on the passenger side; there's a black box about 6" x 3" with its top just below the level of the wing, between the battery and the wing.

Squeeze the ends of the box to free the clips and lift off the top. In the box, towards the front, is a 20 amp and a 30 amp fuse

Pull the 30 amp fuse out and store it in the empty space at the opposite end of the box.

Replace the lid - job's done!

These are pics from a Swiss LHD car!





Pull the pink (30A) fuse and press it in the empty space next to the old position.

Or do what I suspect one of the previous owners of my car did and simply pull the plug off the back of the button!

Would you go the whole hog and remove the headlamp washer units from the front bumper altogether?
I found a site the other day where some german "Markus" had done this, filled the holes and resprayed the bumper.
End result didn't look quite right though - lacked aggression (?)

You could compromise and do what Leggy Blonde has done, which is have the washers sprayed the same colour as her car. Look good!

No big deal but I can't see where the pink fuse is now - but nice to have these pics, BS

Mike did this :

It does look less aggressive and although I will definitely lower the numberplate, I will not remove the "squirters" on mine
