Always been wondering why my headlight washers fail to operate and since using VCDS I’ve been welcomed with a fault that says this:
787462 - Relay for Headlight Washer System
B1262 15 [00001001] - Open or Short to Plus Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Freeze Frame:
Fault Priority: 4
Fault Frequency: 6
Reset counter: 132
Mileage: 212794 km
Date: 2023.12.30
Time: 15:36:23
Terminal 15 status: On Terminal 50 status: OFF
CAN- Bus
_aktiv: On
Status Bremslichtschalter (HW): OFF
Status Bremslichtschalter (CAN): OFF
OFF: operated
Position lamps: Not
operated
Automatic high beam assist: Not operated
Low beam: Not operated
Parking light left: Not operated Parking light right: Not operated last
_wakeup: no cause for fault protection
Voltage: 12.2 V
Outside temperature: 13.0 °C
This forum and others don’t seem to specifically mention a dedicated fuse for the washers so I’m unable to start there as my windshield ones work just fine; as for the relay itself that seems to be a myth; no relay information I can find specifically for the headlight washer.
It does lead me to believe it could be a mechanical failure with the pump of sorts. But i wanted to get some eyes on this to ensure the relay/fuses are identifiable so i can cross those out and bit the bullet with replacing the pump. I also wondered if they may have been disabled by the last owner and this fault is potentially evidence of that. Any help would be appreciated.
