Hope mine is waiting for me when I get home tomorrow.
My underdash (below) looks different to yours (above), so now I'm unsure which one to swap. Any ideas?Quote:

One of the bigger pink/red ones. Pull one out and see if the wipers stop working [emoji56]Quote:

The attachment shows where the relay goes on a 2012 130
Thanks all. Mine is very tight - I may have to use a screwdriver to lever it out.
If you use a screwdirver, probably best to disconnect the battery firstQuote:

We tried to figure out how to use the replaced relay to make the rear wiper intermittent, but nothing tried worked. It's obviously not just plug and play. I have since done some searching and found the thing about shifting a wire from pins 6 to 1, but haven't tried that yet.
The relay in my MY07 is very tight too - I think I'm having the same issue. Where are these two screws though? Or should I just continue to jimmy it out?Quote:

It's difficult. I got my BIL, a mechanic, to do it for me as I was afraid of breaking something.
