Windshield Wiper Pump?? Diagnosis?
I just went to use my wiper blades washer and nothing came out. No spray. Everything else related to the wipers works just fine. The Fluid Reservoir was full. I am thinking it might be the pump? Where might it be located? Thanks in advance.

On my 2008 clk350 the pump is located in front of the driver's side tire behind a cover. Remove the cover and it is easily seen. This pump seems to have a tendency to leak around a rubber grommet at the bottom of the pump. I had to replace mine and though not to tough, it is hard to get the right fitting grommet installed.

Thanks for your help. I traced the tubing back to the pump but my hand/fingers are to big to reach it. It is located in a tight spot. It seems easy enough to replace if I could just get to it. I will keep trying.

The pump is very easy to access - lift the vehicle and remove the lower fender shroud that sits in front of the left road wheel. Removing the wheel makes the job easier, but it's not absolutely necessary.
