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.

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.
