Light washer on M3...

darklord · 11-20-2008, 12:44 PM

Just a personal pet peeve; is there any way to disable the juice from the headlight washer? Makes a mess of the car...

turn off the lights when you wash your windshield...

Thanks - makes sense but I did not know that.

I tried that on my 335xi but it did it anyhow so you may need to wait , say 10-30 seconds for the system to realize the lights are off.

Let us know what happens

Its an 'effin mess on the car so I wish you could turn it off on the Idrive or maybe we can pull a fuse but not throw an error?

Are you sure it won't function if the lights are off?

On the e46, the headlight washers would function once for every 4 or 5 times the window washer was activated.

I tested it and it it does not function while the lights are off.
