Espace Headlight and Windshield Washer Failure

Headlight cleaning system on my 2006 Renault Espace (gasoline engine) has stopped working, and now the windshield washer system doesn't work either. I checked the fuse box, and everything seems fine. Could it be a clog somewhere? I have no idea what to do!

That sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my Espace, though I don't remember the year. If the headlight cleaner and windshield washer stopped at the same time, it's likely an electrical problem. Have you checked the pump?

The pump? Where exactly is that located, and how do I check it? Is it difficult to reach? Also, is it possible it's just the cable connection?

Yes, it could definitely be the cable connection to the pump, or even a faulty relay. I’m no expert, so I just took mine to the workshop. They told me that this is a common problem. They are specialized and have the right tools to measure the voltage and check the correct functionality.

Thanks for the advice! It turned out to be a defective connection to the pump, just like you suspected. The garage fixed it for 165€. The headlight cleaning system and the windshield washer are now working perfectly!
