does anyone know where the fuses and relays are for the window sheild wipers on a 1987 turbo II. my wipers dont work and i think there is a blown fuse or relay somewhere, i just dont know where.

 

The relay is internal to the switch (solderd to the PCB).

The fuse is in the driver's kick panel fuse box.

 

which fuse is it, theres a lot of them

 

the one marked wiper

 

hey i need one of those fuse box covers
hahaha

 

thanks, i wish i had a cover on my fuse box

 

The dinky relays are inside the wiper switch module.
You may have to dig through some searches, but there are some good write-ups posted.

 

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

Actually if the motor doesn't stop correctly or halfway it is almost always not the relay, but either a problem in the electronics of the switch, or a bad motor.

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.
