2011 W212 Winshield Fluid Not Spread

Look for troubleshooting idea on 2011 W212 WInshield Fluid pump. When I pressed inward on the left switch level, the winshield flush is not spraying. Check the reservoir and it is full. Just check the fuse #10, #13 and #38 (probably not related), they seem to be all good. Where is the pump connector, I think I should check the pump connector if I can find it... Or anything else I should check before conclude the pump is the culprit. Anyway, if it is, is there a reference some where on how to replace it (I prefer to work on it myself).

Cool. Thanks Konistiger. As I will need to remove the front wheel and fender to access the pump and connector, I figured I might as well get the replacement pump ready. Searching on FCPEuro side. I found the orginial MB brand

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-2218690121
(~USD $37)

and also the after market (Febi brand):
(~USD $10)
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...ump-2218690121

The strange thing is the on FCPEuro site, it says on the Febi "Does not fit", but the parts number says otherwise, I assume it is their mistake and both should fit. Now the question is anyone has good experience on the Febi parts? It priced at 1/3 of the mercedes brand.

Should fit as it's the same part number, but if you want, you can call FCP and ask them about fitment before ordering, the folks there are very nice, and pretty helpful. If they made a mistake, they will appreciate the heads-up, I'm sure.
Not sure on the Febi brand, but it should have a lifetime guarantee, just like everything else they sell...right?

FEBI is almost always garbage... is it worth saving $20 and possibly replacing it again?
