No one is really having the same problem as me are they?

This is a S4 with no rear wiper btw.

Doing some research on your site, and around here, I have decided to repair my own, since I have been working on boards for years...
I tore out the switch, opened it up, but the two relays are different.
When I went to your site, It only had one choice, but defaulted to qty 2.....
So I ordered the 2.
These relays are different though?

There are three relays in the switch if you have a rear wiper, and two relays if you have a coupe without rear wiper or a convertible.

Relay 1 and 3 are the same part, relay 2 is a different part.

If you only want one relay, PM and let me know and I will refund one for you.
