conventional ISO relay. However, the micro-relay terminal orientation (or footprint) is different, current capacity is lower, and the relay case
dimensions are smaller than on the conventional ISO relay
The intermittent wipe relay is a electromechanical device that switches current to the windshield wiper motor or wiper motor park switch when the
relay is energized or de-energized by the Central Timer Module (CTM) in response to the proper inputs from the windshield wiper

The intermittent wipe relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), in the engine compartment. Refer to the PDC label for relay
