Volt Headlight Washer Failure

Hi, my 2010 Chevrolet Volt (hybrid engine) is having an issue at 92046 km. The headlight cleaning system isn't working, and now the windshield washer is also inoperable. I checked the fuse, and it's fine. Could it be a clog or a leak?

A 2010 Chevrolet Volt experienced a failure in both the headlight cleaning system and windshield washer, despite the fuse being intact. The issue was suspected to be a clog, leak, or faulty cable connection. After checking the fuse, it was suggested that a faulty cable connection to the pump or relay might be the cause. The problem was confirmed to be a faulty cable connection to the pump, which was resolved at a workshop.

Hey, that sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my old Volvo. Turned out to be a faulty cable connection to the pump or the relay. Have you checked those?

Thanks! Where exactly are those located on the Volt? Is it easily accessible, or should I take it to a mechanic?

On my Volvo it was a pain to get to, tucked away near the wheel well. Given it's also affecting your windshield washer, and you've checked the fuse, a dodgy connection is pretty likely. Might be worth a quick look if you're comfortable, but honestly, for something like that, a workshop will sort it out quickly and without you getting frustrated.

Okay, thanks! I took it to the workshop and you were right, it was the cable connection to the pump. Repair cost was 165€. Appreciate the help!
