S80 Headlight Windshield Washers Failing

No visible leaks, but where exactly should I be looking for clogs? And what about the electrical side of things? Is there a common relay issue with the S80 headlight washer system that might knock out the windshield sprayers too?

I didn't find any clogs when mine went, and honestly, messing with the wiring on these things can be a nightmare. If you're not seeing any leaks, my advice? Bite the bullet and get it checked by a workshop. Could save you a lot of frustration. That's what I did!

Thanks for the advice! Took it to a workshop, and you were right – turned out to be a defective cable connection of pump or relay. Cost me 165€ to get it sorted. At least everything is working again.

I had something similar happen with my S80. The headlight washers quit, and then the windshield sprayers went silent. I'd check for clogs, but a faulty pump is also possible. Have you noticed any leaks?
