Subject:Re: Update, including rear wiper controller

Hey Alistair.

Does the rear wiper relay have a printed circuit board? My 99
"programmable" front wiper relay would be intermittent but would come
on if I pushed up at wires/connectors to it. Issue turned out to be
cold solder joints at relay PCB. Easy fix.
