Default Headlamp washers not working

My headlamp washers (both sides) are not working (don't pop up and squirt). Does anyone have a diagram on how to remove the front bumper to access the wiriings to the headlamp washers? Or maybe if I can access from the wheelwell instead of removing the whole bumper?

are you trying them with the headlights on or off?

do the washers work on the windshield?
i would guess yes, since you had a trip in rain and snow.

i don’t have any diagrams for the vehicle…I have them all for my 2007 SC430.
i guess check the simple things, fuses, washer fluid etc.
did they ever work?

Yes the windshield washers worked (thank God... otherwise I would have been blind folded). To be honest, it was the FIRST TIME I tried using the headlamp washers...Previous trips to Tahoe / snow area were during white outs when the roads were covered in snow...this time had the snow / mix rain / snow plows dumping sand.... will try access from the fender liner later this wkend and see...and yes did chk fuse - was good

Well, got a chance this past wkend to inspect why the headlamp washers aren't working.... turned out since they haven't been used at all until this part trip to Tahoe, the lids were kinna stuck / glued to the bumper...gave it a little pull and bam!!! they work. So silly
