That is usually the case, but in this case the part originally listed appears to have been miscatalogued.

The correct part appears to be a rather generic and commonly available plug-in "time delay relay" of sorts.

There are owner's manuals, Haynes and Chilton's etc. I hate to see things headed so much in that direction toward automotive "closed shops" with "no user serviceable parts inside."

I don't want to replace a perfectly functional $75 wiper motor assy because of the failure of a $15 relay, not to mention the labor apart from simply inserting the new relay into the fuse panel.
