93 wagon rear wiper relay location

Post by Dizzy »

Gang -

Does anyone know where this is? I can't find it in the manual. The wiring diagram shows a relay as part of the circuit.

I'm seeing the following behavior with the rear wiper that leads me to believe it's the relay:

* Set stalk switch to 'on' position (rear wiper doesn't move)
* wait a couple minutes with switch in 'on' position, car running
* wiper starts working

The above behavior leads me to believe it's neither the switch nor the wiper motor. TIA.

It could actually be the wiper motor... not likely the switch. But it makes sense to check the relay...

The info I have says it's "Behind right rear quarter panel, near wheel well."

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. Actually, I was hoping it was the motor. They seem pretty easy to swap. I dislike electrical gremlins. :(
