Warning Signs the Headlight Washer Nozzle is Failing:
- Weak or no spray from the headlight washers
- Uneven spray pattern
- Leaking washer fluid near the headlight
- Headlight washers not extending or retracting properly
- Unusual noises when the headlight washers are activated
How to Test if This Part is the Problem:
- Check the washer fluid level. Make sure it's full.
- Listen for the washer pump motor when you activate the headlight washers. If you don't hear it, the pump might be bad.
- Inspect the hoses leading to the nozzle for leaks or clogs.
- If the pump is working and the hoses are clear, the nozzle itself is likely the problem.
Common Failure Causes for This Part:
- Clogging from dirt and debris in the washer fluid
- Freezing temperatures causing the nozzle to crack
- Physical damage from road debris or accidents
- Wear and tear over time
