This may sound obvious but make sure you have plenty of washer fluid in the reservoir....I seem to remember mine did the same simply because there wasn't enough in it. Also you have to have the headlamps on for them to work.

Hope this helps :D

Agree not enough water and they don't work.

Again may sound silly, but are the lights turned on to?

Lights on and fill the washer bottle - place your bets LOC :D

yas were right there wasnt enought water in the bottle. I just thought if there was water goin to the window there would be enough for the lights but clearly i was wrong

how stupid do i feel

thanks for the help :P
