Question windsheild washer problem

Yesterday the windsheild washer stopped on both the front and rear tailgate(it's a 2001 E320 wagon). I checked 4 fuses using the info sheet found in the engine compartment fuse box. I also checked the fuse box under the rear seat. I found one blown (10 amp),replaced it and---nothing. I can't hear any pump noise so,I'm guessing the pump is kaput.
Is there a DIY on pump replacement? I understand from other posts it's behind the passenger fender. Would I have to remove the right front tire to get at it?

Thanks for any help.

Although at first thought one would think pump, but remember your system is not like the simple 1980 type---there are switches and relays that control the pump---I hope your guess is correct!! Test the pump first!!
According to the info inside the fuse box there are 4 fuses-2 in the engine compartment and 2 under the rear seat. The one that was blown was in the engine compartment fuse box and was for the wiper/washer. As I said,I replaced it and there was no change. I don't know about the relays. I'd test the pump but I don't know where it is or how to get to it.

Yes,useful. I found the relay in question.I guess it must be near(or in) the fusebox according to the location diagram. I have no multimeter so I'll gamble a few bucks and switch out the relay. If that diesn't work I'll go to the pump.

Thanks raymond G
