I've had the headlamp washer nozzles break off on both sides of the vehicle. When this happens the little collor matched cover falls off. Anyone else had this problem? :(

Have not had that problem with my XLR. But I noticed that you are a Amateur Radio operator. What bands do you operate?. Robin K6UNQ

Good to meet you. :seeya I can be found on 40M on 7298KHZ on ocassion. By the way.. Do you know how to activate the headlight washers? The only thing the manual mentions is the fuse for it.

TNX for the Amatuer Radio Info. I hang out on 14.240 on the Week Ends. My mother lives in Phoenix so I do get over there a few time a year.

If you look in your manual Page 3-11 Windsheild Washer Second paragraph it talk about the Head Lamp washers

Does the headlamp washer function every 3-5 times you use the windshield washer?

How did the nozzle get broken?

The washer bracket basically fell into my hand while cleaning. It did not take any coaxing. I simply touched the other one and noticed one of the three 'wings' on the nozzle was broken off and the small painted cover is hanging on with two.

Thanks for the info in the manual. I've been through it several times and must have missed it.:o

I'll bet someone backed-up over your bumper, and cracked/loosened both washer heads for you, kind of a hit-and-run, it sounds like.... :cry
