Novo headlight and windshield washer problem
Summary of the thread
A Fiat Novo owner experienced issues with the headlight cleaning and windshield washer systems, suspecting a connection between the two problems. After confirming that the fuses were intact, it was suggested to check the cable connections to the pump and relay, especially since the vehicle has Xenon headlights. A potential leak in the washer fluid reservoir or hoses was also considered. Ultimately, a defective cable connection to the pump was identified and repaired at a workshop, resolving the issue.

Yes, it has Xenon headlights. Where exactly are those cable connections located? Is it difficult to access them? Also, what do you mean by "a leak could also cause that?"

The connections are near the washer fluid reservoir. The leak I mentioned could be in the reservoir itself or in one of the hoses, causing the pump to run dry and eventually fail. But honestly, given it's affecting both systems, you might want to have a workshop take a look. Could be electrical.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Took it to the shop and you were right, cable connection of pump defective. Repair cost 165€. All fixed now.

I had a similar issue with my Novo. Does it have Xenon headlights? Check the cable connections to the pump and relay. A leak could also cause that. It could be the source of the problem.
