Can a reader kindly enlighten me how the front headlamp washers are activated on a 1992 Japanese Prado EX J78 import (Similar to LJ70)? Cannot see switches anywhere on the dash for this at all.......

Switch is one of the 4 on the panel below the heater controls.

You need ignition and h/lamps on.

If nothing happens, the pump may be seized or gummed up. Remove bottle from wing. Remove pump to investigate.

Thanks for all your help. With your comment/s and the original Japanese language handbook I was able to figure it out.
It would seem that the pump motor has seized up, a topic that has come up a few times on Landcruiser forums.
Regards.

Its not necessarily seized up. On mine there was a thermal cutout on the motor which had malfunctioned. I bypassed it and added a fuse instead and it now works fine.
