Modus Windshield Washer Heater Fault

Hi, I have a 2011 Renault Modus with a diesel engine. The windshield washer heater seems faulty. There's an error stored, and the spray nozzles freeze in cold weather. I suspect a cable or plug issue. Anyone else had this?

The initial problem involves a faulty windshield washer heater in a 2011 Renault Modus, leading to frozen spray nozzles in cold weather. The suspected cause is a cable or plug issue, which aligns with a similar experience shared by another person who suggested checking the connection to the heating element. The recommended solution is to use a multimeter to check for voltage or take the car to a workshop, where it was confirmed to be a defective plug connection.

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my old Opel Astra. Check the connection to the heating element. The washer motor was fine in my case. Is the washer fluid reservoir heater working?

Where exactly is this heating element located? And how can I check if the heating element is working?

On my Astra, it was near the washer fluid reservoir, integrated into the nozzle assembly. Use a multimeter to check for voltage. Honestly, though, I'd just take it to a workshop. It's likely a corroded connection. Save yourself some grief.

Thanks, I'll check the voltage, but you're probably right. I took it to the shop, and it turned out to be a defective plug connection as suspected. Repair cost 95€.
