Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspected cause
My problem is sometimes if I want to use the cruise control I inadvertently push the wiper lever instead of the lower one and the damn stuff sprays all over my clean car!

Leading evidence: 'sometimes if i want' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'sometimes if i want' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean car' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

And yes I do know the solution for this, which is why would you ever use the cruise control, but I do occationally use it.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What is this silver disk on the headlights? My car doesn't have them but some cars do. Is it something to do with xenon headlights?

my headlights look exactly like that but do not have the headlight washer. does this mean that i do not have xenon lights? if not, how can they be halogen since they have the light bulb type light rather than the bif fat usual flood light type of headlight?
thanks for any info
Yes. You activate it by pushing forward on the w/wiper control stock. Also, when you activate your car's defrost by pushing the button (marked with the little lined window on the center consul), it heats the w/wash nozzles, headlamp wash nozzles, side mirrors and back windshield. I find it not really not that good at all considering our cars were built for cooler climates worldwide.
Yup, it comes std with the Xenon lights. No washer, no Xenon. Even the halogen lights look like that small flashlight shape rather than the big ovals now.
Also, be careful about actuating the washer when doing over 100 mph. The darn thing can fly off
.
I never let my car get dirty enough to need the washers.

And I have to wash it again! And yes I do know the solution for this, which is why would you ever use the cruise control, but I do occationally use it.
