Hi, one of my headlight washer's is stuck at 12'o'clock position with the motor making a whining noise. Tried reset with fuse but still stuck. Left fuse out so battery does not drain. Happened when iced up. Any ideas how to fix?

Which fuse did you take out? I didn't think they were individually fused...? One of mine doesn't work so I'm idly looking into it. I suspect a bad earth on mine but I can't find the earth point even though Rave helpfully shows a photo of it's location.

Sounds like you may have stripped a gear.

Fuse 28 (2004 model). Had problem before and pulling fuse and putting back reset the washers. This time the motor still runs so may have to take bumper off to see if its stripped.

Ah. An L322 then I assume.

Yes L322

Wouldn't just have come loose on the spindle and the arm just stuck vertically with the motor still spinning would it?
