Skoda Kamiq Headlight Washer Problem Solved
Summary of the thread
The 2021 Skoda Kamiq had a problem with the headlight cleaning system and windshield washer not functioning. Initial checks of the fuses showed no issues, leading to suspicions of a faulty pump, relay, or cable connection. A similar case suggested checking for clogs or defective cable connections. Ultimately, the issue was identified as a defective cable connection to the pump, which was resolved by a workshop, restoring the system's functionality.

Interesting, thanks. Where exactly was the clog located in your case? I visually inspected the hoses, but I didn't find anything obvious. Could it be something further upstream, maybe near the pump itself?

In my case, the clog was near the pump. Given that both your headlight and windshield washers are affected, a defective cable connection to the pump or the relay seems like a strong possibility. If you are not comfortable diagnosing it yourself, I would recommend taking it to a workshop to have it checked out.

Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on. The cable connection to the pump was defective. They replaced it, and the headlight cleaning system and windshield washer are working again. Total cost was 165€. Thanks for your help!

I also own a Kamiq, and I experienced a similar issue with the headlight cleaning system. It turned out to be a clog in the line, which also affected the windshield washer. Have you checked for any blockages or kinks in the hoses leading to the headlight washers?
