    So, effective last night, each time I turn on my ignition, my headlight washers pop up and attempt to wash the headlights. I may have hit the stock and it's stuck there - I cannot figure out how to use them, as I never ever use windshield washers bc they are notorious for scratching windshields.

    Anyone have an owner's manual handy to share instructions? The stock on the right shows the logo but no idea how to activate/deactivate them.

    No, I don't have an owner's manual. I got the car at Carrio, remember? lol

    The headlight washers are activated by pushing forward on the stalk. You can disable the headlight washer by disconnecting the headlight washer module or, presumably, by pulling the fuse in the frunk...

    ... but that's not going to help you with scratched windscreens. The windscreen washer is activated by pulling back on the stalk.

    You'd have cut wires or de-pin plugs on the steering column connectors.

    Perfect, thank you!

    The problem corrected itself, however it will likely return, so I plan on disconnecting it.

    Do all 360s have this ? Never realized they are installed the last 14 years.

    Optional extra, I believe.

    They'll have been part of the xenon headlight option (becoming standard after 2003, I believe).

    Certainly in the UK, it was an MOT requirement for headlight washers to be present on any car with xenon headlights - presumably the theory being that a dirty lense would scatter the beam and could dazzle other road users
