C1 Windshield Washer Heater Fault

Hi, I have a 2006 Citroen C1 diesel with 131172 km. The windshield washer heater seems to be faulty. I'm getting an error in the memory, and the spray nozzles freeze in cold weather. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection.

I had similar issues with my C1. Check the fuse box first; it might be a blown fuse. Have you checked the voltage at the washer heater connector?

Where exactly is the washer heater connector located? I couldn't find any information about that. The fuses seem to be okay.

On my C1, it was near the base of the windshield, under the plastic trim. Honestly, after checking the wiring and finding nothing obvious, I took it to a workshop. Turned out to be a corroded connection I couldn't easily fix.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and it was indeed a corroded connection. Repair cost was 95€ Appreciate the help.
