Headlight washers, where is the switch? (archive)

I have a '92 735iL and was told by the previous owner that the headlight washers haven't worked in a long time. I've put 12volts across the pump motor and got plenty of water spraying the headlights. The tubes and pump are fine.

Blasted if I cannot find a THING in the owners manual about the headlight washers. I can't find an interior switch either! Am I as dumb as I look? Is the windshield washer switch supposed to activate the headlight washer pump too?

AND while on the topic of the owners manual...it shows and "intesive" cleaner, which my car doesn't have. I assume that this is a second "stronger" cleaner used on the windshield.

AND ALSO, there isn't a thing in the manual abouty the rocker switch below the ashtray that is labelled EDC, S, K. Electronic Suspension? Sport? Komfort?!? Please inform the uninformed.

PS: I should just about pass next week's pilot test. I am clear on "trip computer 101" and am working on "intermittent wiper programming 201" That wiper programming is VERY handy. Once I understand EDC, it'll be cake! ;-]

thanks-Jeff
