500E Windsheild Washer System

Hello you all, recently I did a good engine bay cleaning which I believe resulted in the washer system stopped working. Before I did the engine wash the washer system worked fine but now its not working at all. First I though a fuse might have gone but turns out it wasn't that. Has anyone had this problem or maybe know what part has gotten wet or if there is a cable or something that I might have accidentally pulled out. The car is a 500e -92.
Thanks in advance!
 
Does the wiper motor cycle (wipes glass), and only the pump does not work (does not squirt liquid on glass)?

It's unlikely that engine bay cleaning caused this problem.

The wiper wipes the windshield but I am not sure how to get the wipers on the headlights going. So the thing that's not working is the pump I guess because it does not squirt liquid on the glass.
 
The headlight wipers only run when the headlights are on, and you wash the windshield. Then the headlight wipers will cycle for a short time only.

Okay I think I solved the problem. Turns out that on the passenger side the headlight wiper nozzle was filled with dirt but the other side worked fine. And then for the windshield I removed the hose from the pump and put another hose higher than the washer tank and tried cleaning the windshield with the car turned on and no fluid came from the hose so I guess the pump for the windshield is broken. Thanks for the help!
