Mini Cabrio Headlight Cleaning System Fault

Alright, puzzling issue here with my 2023 Mini Cabrio. It's got 84034 km on the clock, and the headlight cleaning system has thrown a fault. What's weird is that the windshield washer system isn't working either. Anyone seen this before?

Strange issue I had something similar with my Mini Cabrio. The headlight cleaning system stopped working, and it turned out to be related to the windshield washer system. Did you check for any leaks?

Leaks Interesting. I haven't noticed any puddles. But how would a leak affect the headlight system though Are they connected somehow

Yeah, it was weird. The systems are linked somehow. No visible leak, but the workshop found a clog somewhere that affected both. If it's not a simple clog, the pump might be gone. Honestly, I'd suggest getting it checked by a professional. Is it worth the hassle of diagnosing it yourself?

Appreciate the insight. Ended up being a faulty cable connection to the pump, or potentially the relay. Repair set me back 165€. All good now.
