Kalos Windshield Washer Heater Fault

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2007 Chevrolet Kalos, gasoline engine, with 243171 km on it. The windshield washer heater seems faulty. I'm getting an error, and the spray nozzles are frozen when it's cold. Could it be a bad cable or plug connection?

The 2007 Chevrolet Kalos is experiencing a windshield washer heater fault, leading to frozen spray nozzles in cold weather. The issue may stem from a bad cable or plug connection. A similar problem in another vehicle was caused by a corroded connection on the heater element. A workshop visit is suggested for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

Hey! Sounds like a pain, especially this time of year. I had a similar issue with my old Renault a few years back. Washer fluid just wouldn't spray when it was freezing out. Did you check if the nozzles themselves are clogged? Sometimes a little debris can cause them to freeze up faster.

Thanks for responding. You mentioned a similar issue with your Renault. Was the error code also related to the heater malfunction? Were the nozzles frozen too? What was the reason?

Yeah, the error code pointed to a faulty heater circuit, if I remember correctly. And yup, nozzles were frozen solid! Turned out to be a corroded connection on the heater element itself. Honestly, after fiddling with it for an afternoon, I just took it to a workshop. Best 95€ I ever spent, LOL.

Thanks for the insights and sharing your experience. It seems a workshop visit is inevitable. I will post the resolution after the repair.
