Astra Headlight Washer Failure

Anyone else with a 2023 electric Vauxhall Astra suddenly find their headlight washers not working? It's got 168751 km on the clock. The windscreen washers have gone too. I suspect a dodgy cable or relay to the pump. Absolute nightmare!

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?

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!
