| look for power at the red with white wire when the key is on and the wiper switch is flipped up from its off position. If no power look at the round relay on the fuse block and the fuse number 8. Then call for some more troubleshooting advice |

Way to go George!
Should we mention that any relay can be swapped with any other relay and to always buff the pins and spread them a little with a razor blade/knife?
