ZT-T Headlamp Washer problem.

Abott10 · 25th August 2016, 21:33

The Headlamp washers do not work.

Looks like and electrical problem but could blockages in the pipes cause the brief ~ less than one second ~ 14 volt show to stop almost immediately? Maybe something T4 related. I do not know.

Appreciate any pointers here and if someone been there and done that I shall be delighted and grateful.

They should only operate once every 5 screen washes john.... but if the pump motor aint buzzing then it may be that that is dead.... try connecting it to the battery direct....

could it be low water in bottle because pump for headlights is upper 1 and if water is below it, it will wash windscreen only

First check that the filter isn't blocked, if it looks OK then the high pressure pump may need replacing along with the o ring.

The filter is located in the tip of the pump, in the bottle, behind a the bumper
