XC40 Windshield Washer Heater Fault

Hi, I've got a 2020 Volvo XC40 hybrid with 147404 km on the clock. The windshield washer heater seems to be faulty. I'm getting an error stored in the memory, and the spray nozzles freeze up in cold weather. Could a defective cable or plug connection be the cause? I've checked the washer fluid level, and that's fine.

The main issue discussed is a faulty windshield washer heater in a 2020 Volvo XC40 hybrid, leading to freezing spray nozzles in cold weather. A defective cable or plug connection is considered a possible cause. Suggested solutions include checking the fuse box for a blown fuse and inspecting cable connections, with a recommendation to visit a workshop if necessary.

I had a similar issue with my XC40. Have you checked the fuse box? Sometimes a blown fuse can cause the washer heater to malfunction, especially with those symptoms. Does your windshield wiper operate correctly?

Thanks for the tip. Where exactly is the fuse box located, and which fuse is responsible for the washer heater? And yes, the windshield wipers are working fine.

The fuse box is usually located in the engine compartment or under the dashboard. I can't tell you exactly which one it is, as I don't have the car's specs at hand. However, I would suggest that you visit a workshop to have the cable connections checked. I had the same symptoms, and they told me that the cable connection of the component was defective. The repair cost me 95€.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'll check the fuse box first. If that doesn't work, I'll take it to the workshop and mention the cable connection issue. I appreciate the advice.
