Windscreen washer system.

I have the LHD 05 CGT, I have read what I can on the location of both washer pumps. How do I get to them to confirm why they have no pressure? Anyone have thoughts or pictures? The diagrams I have seen have part numbers and a general layout but not of any help.

Just a thought, I presume that you have tried them with the low beam lights on.
I doubt that they will work with the lights off.

No difference that I could tell from having low beams on. I do make sure the car is started or accessories are active.

Yes the windscreen pump sounds like it should be working, then if I keep it activated, the headlight washers work perfectly.

Thank you, is removing the inner fender something I could do or would it require special tools? I would like to check to see if the line(s) is clogged or something.

Thank you, yes... both units sound like they should work. The windscreen doesn't spray, but the headlights do work as expected.
