Hi,
How do I check to see that the heated windscreen washers are working/receiving current? The bonnet has recently been resprayed along with several other panels and replacements under MB warranty and the jets had overspray blocking a couple. I sorted that but the jets don't appear to be defrosting. Still frozen after 60miles!
regards
Mike

I have done a complete search on this, and there is no usable data on this. The whole system is CAN controlled and the car will have to be plugged into Star, there is no other way to work it out

Chances are someone has disconnected the jets under the bonnet during the repaint, and forgot to reconnect them pull back the sound proofing and check the wiring ...

I thought of that Xtractorfan, but the OP said that there was over spray on the jets,, and I was left thinking surely no one sprays around them on a bonnet job
