Teana Windshield Washer Heater Fault

I've got a 2014 Nissan Teana with a gasoline engine and the windshield washer heater seems faulty. The error memory has flagged it, and the spray nozzles freeze up when it's cold. I think it's a bad cable or plug. Anyone else seen this?

Yeah, I've heard of similar problems with the Teana's washer system. The heating element can be a bit sensitive. When you turn on the wipers, does the washer motor sound like it's running? And is the washer fluid reservoir not just frozen?

Thanks! The washer motor sounds normal, and the fluid isn't frozen. I'm using a winter blend. What do you mean by sensitive heating element?

Okay, if the motor's running and the fluid's good, it probably is the heater or the wiring. With the error code and frozen nozzles, a bad connection is likely. You could trace the wires, but a workshop might be better. Electrical stuff can be tricky, and you don't want to make it worse. Repair should be around 95€ if it's just a connection.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take it to a workshop for them to look at it. Appreciate you confirming my thoughts and the cost idea.
