I have a problem with the front headlights washer jets, when i press the button there is the familier click noise and motor whirring, but no water comes out...Any ideas?

Do you actually use them?Originally Posted by oberlointment
I've never used mine, apart from sheer boredom mate.
well it can very muddy round country lanes...I use them when i can...thinking it is probably a tube if the motor is working
Ive never used mine but a bit of advice for you, if they are shagged dont go to Nissan for new ones, £53.79 + VAT each
Frozen or blocked I'd say.
Dunc.
good god, well that is good advice, not worth it for the money...breakers yard job if they are broken, but not jumping to conclusions just yet...have not had time to have a good butchers yet...
A lot of muddy lanes in london then
You do have water in your resevoir for the windscreen wipers dont you?
Sometimes it needs to be full, i find, for them to work.
Sorry I got it wrong its actually 53.39 + VAT, and that is for the nozzle only as well
Muddy lanes, you would be surprised how many there are...water resevoir? worth a check...
They are great for when people tailgate you, just give a squirt of headlamp washer, it goes right over your own windscreen to create mess on the bloke behind! (just don't do it so he can't see and crashes into you...)
mine dont work either.... but apparently they only work when headlights are on (but mine still dont f-ing work)
it's common for the connector to corrode quite badly on the pump due to where the washer bottle is.
Mine corroded so bad, the wires fell off altogether.
Mine dont work either!!!
Where are the connectors? Are they behind the drivers wheel with the others?
Mine don't either... but then, the car is cleaned WAY before the lights can get dirty enough to need them!

Mine don't work and I don't care
When i get the bumper sprayed i'm going to loose them completely
I find mine only work when the washer bottle is full or reasonably full. I think this is deliberate so that when your washer fluid level is getting low, priority is given to your windscreen not your headlights. It confused me the first time this happened too!
I find my headlight washers entertaining for zapping pedestrians as I drive into work
Mine have never worked. I just thought it was a "feature" much like the dodgy dash lights
Jut
No mine dont work at all
Butuz
mine do... the washer reseviour and the pumps are right at the front of the engine bay on the Drivers side... you can get to them by taking off the trim out of the wheel well... dunno about the headlight washer pump cos its a lot bigger than the windscreen pumps, but you can use Micra windscreen pumps on a 14... or S13 windscreen pumps if you bodge the pumps by unclipping the main bit from the tubing and twisting it 90 degree's
