w210 headlamp washers nogo.

[nickh]

I managed to hotwire the headlamp washer pump and I can get the washing system to work, hooray

however doesn't really help me, does anyone know if there is a relay somewhere? I have checked all the fuses and they are not blown?

I wouldn't think the current is enough to warrant a relay - Have you checked the button.

Does anyone know how to remove these switches on a w210 center console?

Nick,
I am going to contradict myself. Thinking about it, when you press the button, you get a 1-2 second squirt, then it stops. That implies there must be some form of timer/relay in the loop somewhere.
Sorry for the duff info above.

maybe its a longhsot but, would it be a case of having to reprogram the central ciomputer to say you have this option fitted? or maybe it still is a relay..

I'l try a stealer again.. they just dont want to know, and say we'll fix it for you for loads o money..
