Or the armature clogs up. So I hope yours is just a relay, easy and mostly cheaper than the alternative.
That relay is not the problem, (even though it definitely needs to be replaced), nor is the motor shorted out. The wipers worked on delay with it unplugged, then quit again, but still work at full speed. There are corroded and faulty electrical connections everywhere.

I still need to replace that relay. It was blown, and it must control something else, but I can't figure it out right now. The airbag circuit started working after reporting a fault, but then the ABS quit. There is a lot of other electrical damage due to corrosion, the oil pressure sensor, too.

I need to get a manual with a wiring diagram, otherwise wait and see. Spring is coming. The weather will thaw out, and there will be enough light to see what I am doing.
