thew headlight washers work?
I'm looking to repair mine and i am wondering how they actually function. Are they linked to pump which pushes the jack up?

They have a seperate pump which is activated when you wash the windscreen with the headlights on.
They use a pressure chamber which the pump build up the pressure in, and as a result they come out, squirt the headlights then go back in again.
Whats wrong with yours?

my driver side one was destroyed in my ice road trucking incident. The jack has gone and im just left with the pipe, will it just be a case of reattaching the missing one and hoping for the best?

Result!
Mine are working again after the crash. the bottom of the jack had lost the little insert but i just took the main hose and forced it into position, sourced an old jubilee clip and made good.
Both jacks now fully functional but i have to remember not to use them as the headlight cover is severly cracked and the water would just blow it up!!
Cheers for the help,
Dan
