would the relay cause the wipers not to come down when they are half way on the windshield?
Let me see if I can say this better, I have a 88 SE and I didn't pass MD inspection because my wipers will stop halfway on the glass if you turn them off before they reach the bottom of the glass. For example if I have them on at like normal speed and I switch it down to int. it will stop right where it is, and a few seconds later it'll move to the bottom and then fucntion in int. mode. But if it's halfway through a whip and I switch it to off. I'll stop right there. and won't come down unless I time it so that I turn it off at it's lowest point.
I hope that made sense. If it's just a relay where can I get the part, because replacing the whole switch is like 350 dollars.

You can test and *possibly* repair the switch yourself; although, the motor maybe shot. In the latter case, Mr. Hailer sells replacement wiper switches, I believe. Here's a link.. read through it carefully first

I stock and rebuild the switches and stock a heavy duty replacement for wiper relays on my website's store. PM or email me for my website if you need it.
