Skoda Yeti Windshield Wiper Issue

I've got a bit of a head-scratcher with my 2013 Skoda Yeti, gasoline engine. The washer fluid low warning light is on, which is annoying. Error is stored in the error memory. But here's the kicker: the windshield wiper system is completely dead. Now, I know the obvious answer is 'wiper water level too low', but it isn't. Any ideas before I start tearing things apart?

A 2013 Skoda Yeti owner experienced a problem where the windshield wiper system was non-functional, and the washer fluid low warning light was on despite adequate fluid levels. The issue was suspected to be related to wiring or blocked spray jets. Upon further inspection, it was determined that the washer motor was faulty, which was confirmed and resolved by replacing the motor at a workshop.

I had a similar problem with my Yeti. Check the wiring to the washer motor first. It's a common issue and can cause the error you're seeing. Also, are you sure the spray jets aren't blocked? Have you tried cleaning them?

Wiring to the washer motor, you say? Where exactly is that located? And how would one go about cleaning the spray jets effectively?

Yes, the wiring runs along the bottom of the reservoir, it's exposed to the elements. Give it a good look for any corrosion or damage. Blocked spray jets are also a common issue. A pin or needle can usually clear them out. Honestly, though, given that the whole wiper system isn't working, I'd advise taking it to a workshop. Could be a faulty washer motor.

You were right, more or less. I took it in, and it turned out the washer motor was kaput. Not a major expense, luckily, 25€ all in. Thanks for the help!
