windsheild wipers don't always work
sometimes my windshield wipers don't work. to get them going i have to turn off the car and take out the key, then put they key in and to the "on" position. i then have to turn on the wipers and start the car with the wipers going. after doing this i can turn them on and off for the rest of the drive.

It does sound like a relay. I would check your voltage when this does happen and find where it stops. The relay can also act like a fuse. Check the resistance level of the wiper motor, it can draw too much power if the resistance is low. This does usually blow a fuse though. Another place to look might be in the ignition switch. Mine right now is doing funny things like the air controls don't come on right away. I have to wiggle the key a bit. Try that.
BTW. I did see the sig. You do have two RX7s. I know this is the 2nd gen area. but sometimes we can't just assume.

The next time *They don't work*, just jiggle the ignition key. Don't turn the ignition off, just jiggle the key a touch and you'll find that they now work. It's an ignition switch *problem*.
