Zoe Headlight Windshield Washer Issue

Hey there! I had a similar problem with my Zoe. Does it sound like the pump is running when you try to use the washers? If not, it's probably the pump itself or a bad connection. Also, have you checked for any obvious leaks in the hose?

Thanks for the quick reply! No, I don't hear the pump at all when I try to use either the headlight or windshield washers. Where exactly is the pump located? And how would I check for leaks? I'm not super mechanically inclined.

Okay, no pump noise is a big clue. It's likely the pump itself or a relay. You could try to trace the washer fluid hose back from the nozzles to find the pump location. Honestly, though, if you're not comfortable working on it yourself, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop. A defective cable connection of pump or relay is the most likely cause. They can diagnose it properly. Cost me around 165€.

Thanks so much for the advice! Sounds like it's a bit beyond my skills. I'll book it in at a local garage and mention what you said about the pump and relay. Hopefully, it's a simple fix!
