Will do - but a new pump for the windscreen fluid is only $15.00. 75 cents for the washer.

I think buying a 17 year old pump might be ill-advised.

Aerial Does Not Work 1995 SL 500

It worked just fine last night; this morning the radio aerial does not go up. As a result, can't listen to AM or FM.

Is this a fuse, a bad connection of just a burned-out motor?
