Why buy

a car with parts not working?
Wiper stalk could be bad,wiper relay located by ecu could be bad,wires could be shorted. You are going to need to take it to someone and pay something.Find an indie mb shop it will be lots cheaper than the dealer.

the stalk

www.benzworld w210 diy section has procedures to repair.
Have you triedputting voltage to the motor and seeing if you can narrow down the issue?
