Hi. I dont know if this is the correct place to ask, but how in the HE(( do you make the headlight washers work?

This is driving' me crazy!

TIA

First they only work when the headlamps are ON. Second, when the headlamps are ON, you push the windshield washer stalk in so it sprays on the windshield. The first time you do this, the headlamp washer should also spray. The headlamp washer will then work every 4th time (I think) you use the windshield washer.

Thanks for the instructions. I can't even find the headlight washers mentioned in the owner's manual. How did you find out how they are supposed to work?

I didn't get that in my manual either and it also was driving me nuts. I find out that there was an addendum that was suppose to be put in the manual but they forgot mine. A kind person on the 300C forum was kind enough to send it to me.

I think I read it in the Service Manual. Let me check...........

Page 8R-50 says this:
HEADLAMP WASHERS
The headlamp washers on this vehicle (if equipped) work in conjunction with the windshield washers. The headlamp
washers are enabled with the headlamps “ON” and the windshield washers activated. With the windshield washers
activated the headlamp washers will spray once for a predetermined amount of time.

Page 8R-53 says:

The headlamp washer system (if equipped) utilizes a separate high pressure pump that is attached to the windshield
washer reservoir. The headlamp washer pump feeds nozzles that are mounted in the front fascia of the vehicle.
The nozzle bodies spray the headlamps with high pressure washer solvent when the system is activated.

To activate the headlamp washers, turn ON the headlamps and them press the windshield washer control knob.
This will operate the windshield washers and direct two timed high pressure sprays onto the headlamp lens.

I can't find the reference about the every 4th time stuff. I may have read that in the Owner's Manual
