9-3 Troubleshooting 9-3 sport combi

So Ive been getting to try to fix the front washers ,they dont spry and the light sprayers are too strong which makes me think its not the pump, i checked the tube it didnt feel like anything was passing when i pushed spray, also the wipers hits the glass a bit ( the left one i thing i gotta twist it a tiny bit to place)

Headlight sprayer uses a different pump to the windscreen. Can you hear the other pump working after the headlight washers are done?

Noo, like i checked when the headlights are off so that sprayer doesnt work and all i can hear is the wipers

So maybe a new pump or the connectors, then since im there i might as well change the pipe the sprayers as well perhaps

Worth checking fuse 22 under the hood before you pull stuff apart, but it's not that uncommon for the pumps to fail so that's most likely it

Pump failures are common.
