Repair Info and suggestions

The relays are fairly common, a regular electonics supply store should either stock them or be able to get them. Otherwise a company called Digikey will do mailorder.

Asherwood...I have a Digikey catalog and they do not list one of the two relays that you mentioned. I believe its the smaller one(at work, lunch right now). Do you recon that if I call them they could look up an alternate??????? Or do they not work like that?? Sorry to bother you. Locked up at work right now. I pulled the relays out of two wiper sw and, after thinking about it, put them back in. I noticed that both relays seem to pull in when the **** is turned, but I'm dismissing this due to your notation on your original post how they worked on the bench. A working wiper sw does work in the car, so I know the ones I have are indeed broken. Just have to get the right relays. By the way, the numbers on my relays does not match your noted numbers on your original post. What do you think??

Forget about it, I called them once and they couldn't find it.
