Peugeot 5008 Windshield Washer Heater Fault

Experiencing an issue with my 2013 Peugeot 5008 diesel. The windshield washer heater seems faulty. Getting an error, and the spray nozzles are frozen when it's cold. I suspect a defective cable or plug. Is this common? It's annoying during winter!

I had something similar happen in my 5008. I didn't get an error code, but the washer fluid wasn't heating up. Have you checked the fuses? Sometimes a blown fuse can cause the heater to stop working. Also, inspect the wiring harness to the windshield washer reservoir; corrosion can be a culprit.

Thanks! Which fuse should I be checking? I'm not familiar with fuse box layouts, especially for a windshield heater.

I can't remember which fuse it was. I'd have to dig through the owner's manual. I'd suggest visiting a workshop. It shouldn't take long to diagnose and replace the fuse or wiring. Probably cheaper than messing with it yourself and potentially causing more damage.

I brought it to a workshop, and there was a defective plug connection. They fixed it; the bill was 95€ Thanks!
