Mokka Headlight Cleaning System Failure

My 2023 Vauxhall Mokka (electric) with only 28713 km has a headlight cleaning system malfunction. I noticed the windshield washer wasn't spraying, and now I'm suspecting they're connected somehow? I've checked for any obvious clogs, but nothing. Really hoping it's not a major fault.

Interesting. I've had a similar issue with my Mokka. Does the pump sound like it's working, or is it completely silent when you try to use the washers?

It's completely silent, that's what's puzzling me. Is that what yours did before you fixed it? Where should I be looking? I don't want to break anything.

Yes, silent is exactly what I experienced. While it could be a simple fuse, my experience suggests a deeper issue. Given the silent pump, it might be best to have a workshop take a look. Could be a faulty connection or a defective pump; replacing parts without proper diagnosis might be wasteful. Cable connection of pump or relay defective is a likely cause.

Okay, thanks for the advice! Looks like I'll be booking it in for a check-up then. The garage confirmed that a cable connection of pump or relay was defective and it cost 165€! Cheers!
