what ???

you mean they are not working ????

ibimmer954 · 09-08-2008, 03:44 PM

Make sure the variable wiper switch is not all the way at the bottom. Then, use the windshield washers. It should get your lights at the same time.

And make sure your lights are on... (I think)

They only work every third or fourth time you wash the windshield. You'll know it when the spray flies over the hood.

Your lights probably aren't on.

darkphantom · 09-08-2008, 05:15 PM

If your lights are fully on, it will spray them twice....and then after that....I don't think it does it anymore...

Lights on Auto also works, they don't have to be just "on". They come on like every 3rd pull of the washer stalk to spray the fluid i think.

headlight washers are a pain because they spay all over the bonnet.

If you look closely you'll notice there is a laser sensor in the system in order to detect when the headlights need cleaning. Put your head closely above the hood and ask a friend to activate the windshield cleaner. Then you'll see the area where the sensor detects the dust. Make this area dirty and they should spray the next time you activate them.
