Headlight washers

Headlight washers
I am a new owner and new to forum. I have tried a search but got no results concerning my inoperative headlight washers. I know from the handboock that the windscren and headlight washers share the same reservoir but do they have separate pumps? My windscreen set up works fine but when I try the headlight wash circuit all I can hear is a click coming from the drivers (RHD) footwell, I presume this is a relay. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Of course they have separate pumps!
The hadlight washer one is the high-pressure one up top.
First off, can you hear the relay click? if not, I bet someone pulled the fuse!
If it is, take the pipe off the pump (RHS wheelarch, behind the liner) & see if you get drowned.
Alternatively, look for puddles under the front bumper, in case the pipe has blown off.

I've just checked mine; there's 12V buzz to the pump, but no squirt.
My windscreen washer one went in the spring!
This has not been a good year for S2K VT.
20/20 hindsight: I should have taken it into the woods & shot it and kept the NSX.

Kiwi what am I supposed to do with your reply, you have lost me.
According to my handbook there is only one fuse for "washer" so as the windscreen washer works I assumed the problem is elsewhere. I didn't know there were two pumps so thanks for that, I will check for power reaching the pump and/or pump buzzing. I said in my post that I can hear something clicking in the drivers footwell area, I presume this is the relay clicking. (By the way I did check with the headlamps on) Thanks for the suggestions I have a good idea now what to do. Am I right that there is only one fuse shared by both pumps? Cheers
