Cronos Windshield Washer Heater Malfunction

Hey, I've got a 2020 Fiat Cronos with a gasoline engine. The windshield washer heater is acting up. There's an error code, and the nozzles freeze in the cold. It's got 130452 km on it, so I'm guessing something failed. Any ideas before I take it in?

A 2020 Fiat Cronos is experiencing a malfunction with the windshield washer heater, indicated by an error code and freezing nozzles. Possible causes include a blown fuse, a faulty washer motor relay, or bad cable or plug connections. Suggested solutions involve checking the washer motor, testing the fuses for continuity, and inspecting electrical components, with a recommendation to visit a workshop for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

I hear you're having windshield washer heater issues. Have you checked the washer motor and the fuse box? A blown fuse or a bad washer motor relay could cause that. Have you checked other electrical components that you use during winter?

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't really dug into the motor itself, and I only gave the fuses a quick look, not a continuity test. Can you tell me how to test the washer motor and relay? Any common failure spots I should look for?

If the fuses look good and the error sticks around, the cable or plug connection might be bad and need replacing. I don't know the Cronos super well, but if the error won't go away, a shop visit is best to avoid more damage. It'll probably run about 95€.

Thanks, I'll book it in with a workshop for a proper check and fix.
