Headlamp washer fuse/relay

Can anyone tell me where these are located, and specifically which ones?
Thank you.

Interesting stuff. So many online car ads have the vehicle's VIN. I can always find the VIN to any car I want online.

what do you think of chop shops fixing damaged cars/welding up two chassies from different cars then marrying them to stolen VIN's, then registrating this car at DMV with someone elses legit VIN number?
with trojan horses working @ DMV these people could register cars into the system without anyone noticing anything, this is done in crooked countries
call me paranoid but that cudd actually happen

Have you looked at the list which should be attached to the underside of the fuse box?. All the fuses are mentioned there together with most of the relays.

Found a photo in my files which shows this list. Happy hunting!

Thanks! I had looked under there but they were all in german, than I stopped by mercedes guy to ask his opinion and he flipped the paper to show the english side. I felt dumb

I will look further into this. If anything, I just want to reset the position of my driver side wiper, because its stuck in the fully extended position and looks funky. Than I will just make sure I dont use the system.

Have you done the wiper lubrication job? This should be done, or checked, at least once a year.

I'll look it up in the EPC. I did mine in 2012 and cost me the equivalent of $60 each wiper (arm and blade)

Here's all the information you need. Perhaps you can just get the blade separately.

Pull harder lol.

Can you spray it with wd-40 or something? maybe use the little hose to try and get in there.

First, at the inboard end, carefully lift the small cover at the base of the wiper arm. It will pivot up and can then be pulled off.
Second, remove the hex head bolt and pull off the wiper arm. It may take some wiggling/twisting.
Third, reach under the edges of the plastic cover (about 25-30mm from the opposite end from the wiper arm) and spread the cover and lift. There are two small tabs that secure the cover. It might help to gently heat the cover with a hair dryer to soften the plastic a bit ( or let the car sit in the sun for a while).
Fourth, carefully clean the shaft, the slides, etc. and apply a small amount of grease.

Somewhere out there on the web there are instructions for this.

Thanks for the tips. For anyone curious, I did get that plastic cover off at the base of the wiper arm. You need to squeeze the plastic cover on the side with your thumb and index finger till you feel some flex, then pull and it pops right off. I reset my wiper arm, it seems as though the teeth from the pinion are good, but the teeth inside my wiper arm were almost completely gone and there was signs of corosion, probably from years of water blasting. I really dont care if the wipers work at this point. May repair down the road. But I have more pressing things I want to address on the car. Hope this helps anyone.
