Default Seperate fuse for headlight washers?

I just noticed this morning that on my "new to me" used 2002 that I just purchased yesterday the headlight washers do not seem to be working.

The windshield one is fine and I did have my headlights on.

Do you have to hold the washer lever longer the a quick tap to active the front washers?

The car was washed by the Audi dealer yesterday and was out in below freezing temps....could they be frozen?

Anything else to check?

Cheers
Rob

I believe the manual says those are forced up by the water pressure, so they're not electric. Mine come right up when I pull the lever. Maybe your pump is not making enough pressure? Also possible that they are frozen or the lines are frozen. You can see the line between the bumper and radiator. Give it a squeeze and see if it's frozen.

They are on the same fuse as the windshield washer so if those are working it is not a fuse. If the covers are frozen to the bumper its possible that they are just spraying inside your bumper so check for washer fluid coming out of your bumper. Check them on a warm day with your lights on and if they still don't work the pump is probably burnt out, which seems to be a common problem with the A4

Update:

They work fine....I wasn't holding the windshield washer lever in long enough.
