Anyone know if there is a wiper relay? and where it is.. my wipers wont stop running. I've swapped out the steering column arm assembly and the wiper motor.

Sorry to hear that. That must really be an anoyance to deal with. What about the acctual wiper switch it self? Sounds like you may have replaced that allready. Not sure about if there is another relay.

I think there is some type of delay switch/relay that allows the wipers to return to the "down" position before stopping AFTER being switched off. I've heard of those going bad, but I think they're usually integrated with the motor which you said was already changed.

you swapped the motor already?



is it always on the same speed no matter what or does it work on the intermittant modes?

yea, swapped the motor already.. seems like Im getting differant speeds, but its hard to tell. if there is a differance its not much. I found a wireing diagram for it, and im not seeing a relay anywhere. guess I'll try swapping out the switching asymbly again.. only thing it can be.

i would also check all the various wiring around it... maybe something is shorted? the switch is basically a capacitor that charges, so it could be that youre stuck on always on..



its supposed to supply power all the time and the switch just completes the circuit

well everything is getting pulled out in a couple of months for a tech 3 and painless wireing harness, so im not sweating this to much. was just hopeing there was a relay that I was missing somewhere..
