Skoda Scala Headlight Washer System Issue

I am experiencing a fault with the headlight cleaning system on my 2020 Skoda Scala, diesel engine. The windshield washer system is also no longer functional. Is it conceivable that a defective cable connection of the pump or relay could be the root cause of this issue?

Summary of the thread

The headlight washer system on a 2020 Skoda Scala, along with the windshield washer, was malfunctioning. The issue was suspected to be due to a defective cable connection to the pump or relay. After visiting a workshop, it was confirmed that the cable connection to the pump was indeed defective, and repairing it resolved the problem, restoring functionality to both systems.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Interesting. I had a similar malfunction with my Scala's headlight cleaning system not long ago. Did you notice any leak, perhaps around the pump area? And does the windshield washer also fail to operate?

A leak, you say? I hadn't considered that. Yes, the windshield washer is also non-operational. Could this be related? Is it possible a faulty hose impacts both?

Indeed, both systems stopped working simultaneously for me. It points to a common component. I'd suggest having the connections checked and perhaps the pump itself. To save yourself the headache, consider visiting a workshop.

Appreciate the confirmation. Took it to the workshop as suggested. Turns out the cable connection to the pump was defective, as suspected. Repair cost 165€. Headlight cleaning and windshield washer now functional.
