i can hear the clicking from the relay within the steering column.

Wut happens if you try to move the wipers by hand? Intermittent like that sounds like a switch or motor.

well i was at june's garage, and we decided to test the wiring harness with a test light, and we were getting signal to the harness, this rules out that my combination switch is bad (good thing cuz its a 300 dollar part). so most likely its a blown motor.



its my 3rd blown motor in this car!!!
