Cheers for the tip! I did check the fuses, all seem fine. Where exactly was the dodgy connection on yours? Was it easy to get to, or am I looking at a proper strip down to get access?

Well, mine was a bit of a pain to get to, to be honest. I wouldn't say it's a job for the faint of heart. It was somewhere near the Xenon headlight assembly and behind the bumper, if I remember correctly. Honestly, given the potential for messing something else up and you have LED's which can be sensitive, I'd maybe just bite the bullet and take it to a shop. Less stress in the long run, even if it costs a bit.

Took your advice and went to a local garage. Turns out it was a corroded connection, just like you suspected. They cleaned it up and reconnected everything for 165€. Headlight cleaning and windshield washer both working again! Thanks for the help!

Whoa, that's a bummer! I had a similar issue with my EQV. I was convinced it was a leak or a blockage at first, but it turned out to be exactly what you're suspecting: a dodgy connection to the pump. Did you check the fuse box? Sometimes it's the simplest things. Is it throwing any malfunction errors on the dash?
