Mini Roadster washer system failure

Okay, I'm officially stumped. My 2014 Mini Roadster has developed a weird issue. The headlight cleaning system seems to have failed, and now the windshield washer isn't working either! I suspect a faulty cable connection to the pump or relay. Anyone else experience this?

Hmm, that's odd. I had something similar happen with my Mini, though it wasn't a Roadster. My windshield washer stopped working at the same time. Do you have Xenon headlights? Mine does, and the headlight cleaning system was the culprit. Have you checked the fuse?

Yeah, the windshield washer stopped completely. For me, it was a clog in the system somewhere, but I couldn't find it myself. Ended up taking it to the workshop, and they found a corroded connection to the pump. If you've checked the fuse, it might be worth a visit.

Yes, mine has Xenon lights too. And that's interesting, so your windshield washer also stopped? Where exactly was the problem in your case? Fuse is fine, unfortunately.

Turns out it was exactly what some suggested, a corroded connection to the pump. The repair cost was 165€, including a new connector and labor. Thanks a lot for the suggestion, I really appreciate it!
