Cobalt Windshield Washer Heater Issue

Hey, hoping someone can help. I have a 2004 Chevy Cobalt with a gasoline engine, and my windshield washer heater seems to be busted. I'm getting an error stored, and the spray nozzles are totally frozen when it's cold. I checked the fuses, and they seem okay. Any ideas?

A suggestion is made to inspect the cable and plug connection to the heater, which is typically located near the base of the windshield. Upon professional inspection, a faulty connection is identified and repaired, resolving the issue.

I had a similar problem with my Cobalt. Frozen washer nozzles are the worst! Have you checked the cable and plug connection to the heater itself? That was the culprit in my case.

Where exactly is that cable and plug located? I'm not super familiar with car parts, so any pointers would be great.

It's usually near the base of the windshield, close to the washer fluid reservoir. But if you aren't comfortable poking around, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. I ended up doing that, and they said the cable/plug was indeed defective.

Thanks so much! I appreciate the help. I took it to a shop, and you were right – it was a faulty connection. Cost me 95€ to fix! All good now, fingers crossed this solves the issue for good.
