Question Where is the wiper relay unit located in an S4?
I need to know where to look to get that part out when I next visit the junk yard. Pictures, or links to online guides would help. (This is just a temporary fix till I can afford to buy a new one.) Thanks.

The relays are internal to the wiper switch itself.

Directly behind the wiper ****. Replacing the relay itself is non-trivial. You might be best off finding a working switch unit or sending it to someone who has done the work many times.

Hey man, we all gotta start somewhere. My first FC is also my first car. And my family is NOT mechanically inclined.

Anywho, thanks everybody for the help. I'll know what to look for next time.
