Freestar Headlight Washer Issue

Has anyone had issues with the headlight and windshield washer systems on their 2004 Ford Freestar with a gasoline engine? My Freestar has 167240 km, and both systems stopped working. I suspect a cable connection to the pump or a defective relay.

I've experienced something similar with my Freestar. Check the hose for clogs or leaks before diving into electrical issues. A blocked hose can prevent both the headlight and windshield washers from functioning properly.

Could you tell me where the hose you're talking about is located? A more precise location would help me check it.

On my vehicle, the hose runs from the washer fluid reservoir, near the front bumper. It's a common area for kinks or disconnections. However, given your detailed initial assessment, a workshop visit might be the most efficient way to go, especially if you suspect electrical faults.

Following your advice and the workshop's diagnosis, a faulty pump relay was the problem. The total repair cost was 165€ Thank you again for your help.
