Question Window and headlamp washers.

I have an 03 allroad. I've only had it a couple of weeks, and (annoyingly) didn't notice when test driving that neither front or back windshield washers, nor the headlamp washers work. When you pull or push the lever the appropriate wipers go back and forth a few times, but no washer fluid comes out. And, yes, the reservoir is full!

I find it hard to believe that all 3 washer pumps would have burnt out simultaneously, and I can't find anything about relays for these cars online. I confess I haven't done too much poking around yet (the fuse is OK), I was just hoping someone might have some insight about the best place to start poking!

since none of your washers is working, I suspect you may have "gunk" in the lines or in the reservoir. try testing with the car not running and someone else operating the stalk. listen for operation. look for leaks. keep in mind the headlight washers are only supposed to work with the headlights on.

depending on your level of commitment will depend on how in depth you may want to get with chasing this problem down. The washer system isn't that complicated but it can be a pain to get to some of the components/hoses.
