In the recent cold weather my headlight washers froze (stuck open for a while). Weather now warmer and defrosted, but they haven't worked since.

Any ideas?

That " they haven't worked since" is not exactly a helpful description of the problem, if you are looking for help. A detailed account of what is and is not happening would be more conducive.

Apologies if I wasn't clear. The headlight washers aren't working at all, completely dead and non functioning. The windscreen washers continue to work correctly.
I do wonder whether there is a fuse controlling the headlight washers that may have blown, but have been unable to identify which fuse that is.
Any ideas?

They tend to freeze up in the winter. Don't try to force the covers closed if they're sticking out.

They did indeed freeze up with the covers open. Have subsequently defrosted and the covers closed, but have not worked since.
I would like to test the fuse before taking to the dealer, but haven't been able to identify which fuse (handbook refers to the windscreen washer fuse, but not headlight washer).
Can anyone advise which fuse drives the headlight washers?
Thanks
