Default Intermittent Wiper Relay

I have searched by can not locate a picture of this thing, my intermittent wiper function is non existant now and I want to see if the relay is responsible. They work fine in any othermode, but are totally unresponsive in intermitt mode...

Anyone have a pic or diagram of the relay?

Kinda sorta, I was reading that it is actually in the cabin, behind the starter button? Or that it could be reached with small hands? My wipers work fine in all modes except they wont work in intermittent mode

Ummm I don't think there are relays in the cabin in that part of the dash.

Service manual image above confirmed the location I thought it was, driver side near the firewall - under the hood.

I found the relay according to the posted diagram. My intermittents still will not work, I guess I should find a good relay to test for bad relay? If that doesnt work what step should I check next?

MY 00-01 are under the dash and MY02+ are in engine bay. I guess they found out how a PIA that relay is to access.

Interesting.... My intermittents work but I can hear the damn relay clicking every time they move. Does that mean my relay is going to take a shit soon?

I can't even use it because its so annoying and the high speed is too fast, I've just been manually bumping the wiper stick up as needed

I have been able to get an eye on the device they say is bolted behind the starter button, but man its a bitch to get ahold of. Honda diagrams dont give any detail as to which relay it is, Ill need to look at a helms i guess...

Problem fixed, the relay was in the engine bay next to the drivers side firewall, next to the fusebox and clutch resivoir.
