Title: Headlight washer relay issue
Post by: Drapoon on October 19, 2010, 07:36:38 pm

Hi chaps
had vcds hooked up to my car today ( ta rdfcpete!) and turns out my headlight washers are not working due to the relay.
Anybody know where this located please?

Hi mate, I cannot remember off the top of my head which fuse but when it blows it comes up with the relay fault.

No probs mate glad you got it sorted. I'm sure you'll be thanking me when you've just waxed it and you get all washer fluid over the bonnet. :grin:
