Captiva Windshield Washer Heater Issue

Hi, I have a 2008 Chevrolet Captiva with a gasoline engine and almost 200000 km. I'm having trouble with the windshield washer heater. The error memory has stored an error, and the spray nozzles are freezing in cold weather. Any ideas?

Regarding your Captiva's windshield washer heater malfunction: a defective cable or plug connection is likely the cause. Check this first.

Thanks! Could you explain exactly which cable and plug I should be looking at?

The cable and plug connected directly to the washer motor and heating element are suspect. However, given the diagnostic error and freezing, I suggest visiting a workshop. Repair will cost about 95€.

Thanks for the advice! I had the cable checked, and it was indeed faulty. After replacing it, everything works fine now!
