According to my car's option sheet I have the Litronic headlight (601) & Washer (288). Car also has the chrome plastic oval part on the assembly. Question is the headlight washer doesn't seem to operate when I pull the windshield washer stalk toward me. What am I missing here? Thx for all replies.

 

are you headlights on when you test this?

 

Doesn't the headlight washer work by pushing forward on the stalk?

 

Correct.

 

Thx guys, worked when I pushed stalk forward. Getting to know this car through and through thx to this forum!

 

Stupidest option ever, wish my car didn't have them. All they've done is cost me $80 in the past year to replace the stupid chrome covers when they popped off while I was driving.

 

I believe the washers are required by law on Xenon lights and higher power Halogens in Europe.

 

Hi there, wondering what is the round controller on the left of the radio with sort of a windshield wiper figure for?
It's like a volume controller goes left and right, no push no pull.

 

It's to regulate the interval of the intermittent wiper (lowest stalk position).

 

Correct! Turn left and the wiper interval is slow, turn right and it speeds up.

 

Glad someone revived this... I couldn't figure it out but it didn't annoy me enough to look it up so thank you.
