Electric Mini Countryman Washer Fluid Issue

I had a similar issue with my Countryman a while back. The windshield washer stopped working and the warning light was on. First thing to check is the washer fluid level, even if the indicator is malfunctioning. Is the washer motor making any noise when you try to use it?

Yeah, that's the weird part. I checked the fluid level, and it looked alright, though maybe I didn't fill it completely to the top. As for the motor, no sound at all when I try the windshield washer. Could a slightly low fluid level really cause the whole system to shut down and throw an error?

Yep, that sounds exactly like what happened to mine. Even a little bit low, and the system throws a fit. If the motor isn't making any noise, and you're sure it's not something simple like a clogged nozzle, you might want to swing by the workshop. They can probably top it off and clear the error code for you.

Just got back from sorting it out. You were spot on! Turns out the washer fluid was just super low, even though I thought I'd topped it off recently. The warning light threw me off, especially with that error code. Anyway, 25€ later for some washer fluid and I'm good to go. Thanks for the help!
