Have you done the usual level checks? Can you hear the pump when you press the button?
You can pop the bonnet and press the button to see if the spray is coming out and what model/year is it as that helps

if the ignition is on and you press it you should get a noise from the motor, quite noisy wont miss it, could be worth if you own a multimeter to attach it to the pump see if your getting anything

Had a baileys on mine, no performance gains, but no idle issues either, so down to personal opinion, think I may get a few miles more per gallon with out the dv fitted.
