Just a quick one from my experience, I found that sometimes the main screen would work ok, but headlamps not (I think it was that way round).
I realised that there were 2 feeds, one for screen , one for headlamps. One of the feeds is higher than the other, meaning you could have summat in the reservoir, working one, but the other is dry.

Pump will have died.

I used mine quite a bit, and it died. Just replaced one recently too for another scoob owner.

10 minute job to replace.

Either get a new one from subaru, or from a scrapyard.

You must specify the headlamp washer one, as it is much larger than the others, and sits at the very bottom of the water tank.
