Headlight washer question
I filled washer fluid full. Tried using fluid by pressing button and waitong for I think 15 wipes...
Nothing ever sprayed. Not sure if they open.
What's the easiest thing to check.
Fuse, pump etc.
Thanks.

a likely issue you have is because Mercedes specify a designed to fail washer pump - it has lower quality seals - and around the 7 to 10 year mark, these weep allowing the washer fluid to leak by and seize the electrical motor - theses pumps cost around $55 for another short life cycle replacement
or you buy one from ebay for $9 and it functions in exactly the same way, but lasts for 20 to 25 years
