Windshield Wipers

Ok, im having that common problem of them only workin in the 1 (one) position. I read the sticky, and the FSM, and the Haynes Manual. I like to know where things are exactly b4 I go tearin into something. WHere is that relay? It doesnt show where it is in either manual, or maybe im just blind. Anyways, here is the exact problem(s).

1. Wipers wont work in Intermittent position
2. Wipers wont work on high-speed (II) (two) position.
3. Wipers wont return to all-the-way down when I turn them off.

Are these the common problems fixed by replacing the relay, or might I be havin another problem. Also, would I just get the relay at AutoZone, or what? Thanx for the help in advance, and sry for postin what is obviously commonly posted (Hence the mention in the sticky post) but I just wanna find out where exactly that relay is.

Yes you have a bad relay in the switch.

The relay is built into the wiper switch, and not normally replaceable by your average joe.

However, if you wish to try yourself, I do sell the relays and here are the instructions:

If it is above your abilities, I sell already rebuilt switches, or can rebuild yours for you.

And you may wish to use the search function here next time before posting your questions.

Just a side note* I just put in a relay (Icemark-Ebay) and now I have WORKING wipers the procedure is NOT hard--took about 10 min after I got it out of the car. I wondered why I waited so long!!
