Took of wiper switch, now what???

Already searched and nothing was what I needed. So can anybody explain the process of what to do to the switch? I just want to clean it for a temp fix. Does anybody know of any pictures or anything that might help me out? Any help would be great.

i'd rather have mine work in just low then stay on all the time like mines. mins is always on never turns off so i have to pull the fuse out to turn it off and on.

take it apart

Cut the top to expose relay number 3:


Unsolder these points.


replace the relay with a new one (I recommend the Z950-ND relay from Digikey- www.Digikey.com)

Solder new relay in.

reassemble the wiper switch and put it back into the car.

If your rear wiper is not working as well, also replace relay # 1.
