Also, where is the best place to get the relay, the dealer? KJK, where did you get yours? TIA.

I haven't been checking this forum every day so sorry for the delayed response.
The circled relay in the picture is the front wiper delay relay. The one to the left of it is the rear wiper delay relay.
You can't get just the relay from the dealer. They only sell the whole box for a few hundred bucks. Since I never use the rear wiper I just swapped the two positions for now and that fixed the front wipers.
Those relays are almost impossible to find new. The contacts are rated at 20 amps! I was going to try and just get a used alarm box cheap and then I would have at least 2 relays that are good (there are 4 identical relays on the board).
If you find a source for new ones then please let us know. I Googled the number stamped on the relay and got all the specs.
