Saxo Windshield Washer Heater Error

My 2001 Citroen Saxo (electric engine) is showing an error for the windshield washer heater. I've noticed the spray nozzles freeze up in cold weather. I suspect a bad connection. Any ideas?

I had something similar with my Saxo. Are you sure the nozzles themselves aren't just clogged? It's like when a water pipe freezes and bursts in winter, but on a much smaller scale.

I've checked for clogs, but I get an error message in the system. Also, it happens even when they aren't completely frozen; just partially blocked. Is this what you experienced?

Ah, if you're getting an error code, and it's more than just ice, it does sound like the heater itself. My issue was only ever blockages. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop to get it checked out properly.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight. I took it in, and it turned out to be a faulty connection as suspected. Cost me 95€ to fix. All good now.
