V90 Washer Fluid Warning and Spray Failure

Hey, got a weird one with my 2023 Volvo V90 diesel. Getting a 'washer fluid low' warning, but the system is totally dead – no spray at all. Error's stored in the memory. Obvious thought was wiper water level too low, but the reservoir is definitely full. Anyone else seen this?

I have a V90 too, and I had a similar issue once. The low fluid warning came on even though the reservoir was full, and the spray jets wouldn't work. Have you checked the washer motor itself? Also, are the spray jets clogged?

Washer motor, good shout. Where exactly is that located, and is it easy to get to? I haven't had a chance to check the spray jets for blockages yet, is there a recommended procedure to clear them?

On my car, it was easier to let professionals deal with the diagnosis. The motor itself sits near the bottom of the reservoir. It's quite hard to get to. I had to go to the workshop to fix similar issue.

Thanks for the tip! Turns out it was the washer motor – 25€ later and it's all sorted. Appreciate the help.
