The washers for my headlights don't open or spray when I clean the windshield. What can I do to repair this?

on my 08 e60 there are 2 pumps at your washer fluid reservoir.... it is possible one of them or its connection may be the issue

I can't even get the little flaps to pry open for the washers.

I believe the headlight washers only work if you have the cold weather package, heated seats and steering wheel.

tbanks

Yeah. That would make sense if he doesn't have the option

smidley

Ahh that makes sense. I have heated seats, but no heated steering wheel.

here in italy headlight washers are only related to xenon, non to seats or other.

had the same issue, wasn't able to figure out why till I removed the headlights to change the upper gasket: I had the hose connected between the tank and the washers with a plastic "T" almost completely detached, was exactly unde rdrivers' headlight.

think is what you can see in the middle of hose n°1


water arrived there but with no pressure, and largely falling off on the bumper even if I never noticed it flowing off during car use, only on filling the tank more tha 5 liters.
correctly reattached that hose and now all works like a charm. maybe is only a stupid problem like mine
