Default headlight washers

went to start the scoob this morn and noticed the headlight washers had stuck out, as if they wer washing, waited till the car had warmed up and tryed washing them by pressing the wash button, but nothing, not even the windshield washers would not work, so i changed the fuse and happy days the windshield washers are working, but headlight ones still nothing, anyone any ideas??
also the PULL MIST dosent work either
cheers in advance

I had the same on my car this morning, they were half way out and wouldn't wash. I think it had something to do with the freezing conditions as took my car out for an hour run and they had popped back in by the time I came back and now spray aswell. Hope you are as lucky as I was.

I had the same when i left for work the other morning... Walked out and thought someone had tried pulling the drivers washer out for parts haha. Then when i came home from work it was back in.. took me best part of 15 minutes to figure out its down to the temperature at the minute. Its just where the water freezes in the pipes it expands and obviously pushes the wash mech out.

Same has happened today. This morning - washer poking out. 10 minutes ago - washer is back to normal.

Do you mean that the wiper blades don't wipe or that they don't wipe and spray??

Subaru "pull mist" is just wipe.
