I'd be interested in that diagram. My headlight washer decided to empty
the reservoir and could only be stopped by disconnecting the 12v supply.
I spent an evening trying to understand its wiring before I gave up. The
Haynes manual does not have a circuit diagram for it. Could this
control unit be the source of the problem? The motor operates fine.

I'm not sure this feature was availiable everywhere...

Anyway, it's a high pressure pump mounted beside the regular
windscreen washer pump , and in the bumper there are hydraulic
arms with two nossles each that come out about 10 cm forward
and spray the headlight with high pressure. By the pump there is
a relay-like box made by Hella with the text "Reinigungs-steurger=E4t".
The purpose of this control unit is to only let the high pressure pump
run for a short time, to prevent emptying the reservoir.

This gadget was not working, and i like when all gadgets work,
so i took it apart and repaired it, and i also made a schematic
so if anyone is having trouble with it i'll gladly provide you with
the schematic, but first i have to find a schematic drawing software
that lets me save to an image format, and doesen't require registering,
has anyone got one?
