Wiper Issue

Wipers won't return home and intermittent won't work. I have checked everything at the motor. I assume it is an issue with the relay in the control module. How do I get the control module out?

Did you check the HARNESS connection at the motor? The actual exposed connector housing breaks down and basically disintegrates with age and UV, leaving connectors exposed and prone to shorts. EasternBeaver (yeah, their actual name...) sells replacement OE-style harness housings...

I replaced the connector with a WeatherPak one.

I replaced the connector. Still same issues. Looks like everything that is not working goes through the relay in the CPU. Just need to figure out how to get it out.
