The wipers work fine. I'm using a specialized sub-zero washer fluid. Did your Scenic have the same symptoms and error?

Yes, identical: error code and frozen nozzles, even with winter fluid. I took it to a workshop. It was a faulty connection, like you suspected, and the windshield washer heater needed replacement. Cost me around 95€.

Thanks for sharing. I'll take my car to a workshop to have the connections checked and maybe replace the heater.

I had similar problems on my Scenic. Frozen washer jets are a pain in winter. Are the windshield wipers affected? Maybe the washer fluid isn't suited for freezing temps, causing it to freeze inside the nozzles and block the spray.
