Tacoma headlight washer failure

I've got a 2023 Toyota Tacoma hybrid with about 142k km on it. The headlight cleaning system seems to have packed it in. Also, the windshield washer isn't working anymore. Anyone experienced something similar?

I had a similar issue with my old Audi A4. The Xenon headlight cleaning system fault was a pain. Check the cable connections to the pump and relay. Could be a defective connection.

Thanks for the tip! Where exactly is the pump located? Is it easy to get to, or am I going to need to remove half the truck to reach it?

On my Audi, it was near the washer fluid reservoir, pretty low down. Access was tight, but doable without major disassembly. But since it also affects your windshield washer, it's probably more than just a blocked hose. A workshop might be a better idea.

Thanks, I'll check the pump first. If I can't figure it out, I'll take it to a shop. Turns out it was a defective cable connection, workshop fixed it for 165€.
