Re: Headlight washers

I'm not sure but your resivor might be cracked. Try this: Pour in fluid and
if it drains on the ground, then it leaks. If it doesn't then the tube is
disconnected. Activate the washers (headlights must be on) and now look for
spillage on the ground.. The only other thing it could be is a cloged pump.
That is ofcourse if it is actually running. 

If you figure out how to get at the resivoir, let me know... I have a
cracked one and I need to get at it.
