Corsa Headlight Washer Failure

Hi, my 2010 Vauxhall Corsa diesel has a weird issue. The headlight cleaning system stopped working, and now the windshield washer system isn't working either. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I had something similar happen on my Corsa a while back. Do you have Xenon headlights? If so, is the pump running at all when you try to use the washers? It might be worth checking the fuses and relays first, just to rule out the simple stuff.

Yes, they are Xenon headlights. I can't hear the pump running at all. Where are the fuses and relays located? Do you think it could be a clog or maybe a leak somewhere?

Okay, so with the Xenons, it's likely a separate pump for the headlight washers. The fuses and relays should be in the engine compartment fuse box, check the manual for the exact location. I suspected a clog or leak at first as well, but in my case, the cable connection of the pump or relay was defective. I ended up taking mine to a workshop to get it sorted.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like it's beyond my capabilities, so I'll take it to a shop. They quoted me around 165€, so hopefully, it's a quick fix.
