Windshield Wiper problem

when i turn off my wipers, which only operate in I mode, they stick wherever they get shut off at. is this the wiper switch or the wiper relay?

Yup - the tiny relay is good for about 10 years only.
The relay is inside the switch assembly.
I cut a hole in the back of the switch to replace it.

A used switch for $5? That's rare.

$3 was how much I paid for a fully working unit...then I had to go and short out the wiring when I put in my EMS and blew out the int/return relay...doh.

You're looking at it from the back of the switch. It was in there.
