Astra Headlight Washer Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2023 electric Vauxhall Astra owner experienced a failure in both the headlight and windscreen washers, suspecting a faulty cable or relay to the pump as the cause. Another Astra owner shared a similar past issue, which was resolved by replacing a faulty connection. The initial suspicion was confirmed, and the problem was fixed by addressing a defective cable connection to the pump.

Cheers for the reply! No leaks that I can see, which is weird. Was yours the same? What was the fix in the end?

Yeah, exactly the same. No visible leaks at all. Honestly, after fiddling about for ages, I just took it to a workshop. Turned out to be a faulty connection they had to replace. Best bet, I reckon, before you start tearing things apart.

Spot on! Took it in, and you were bang on the money – duff cable connection to the pump. Cost me 165€ to sort. Cheers for the heads-up!

Oh, tell me about it! I've got an Astra too, though not the electric one, and I had a similar issue last year. Thought I was going mad. Is it leaking fluid anywhere?
