2010 base intermittent wiper relay noise - where are they?

Hi,

There is a noticeable "click" sound when intermittent wiper is engaged and I found it is pretty annoying. I am quite sensitive to noise.

I guess it is from the relay. Is there any schematic or picture showing where the relay box is, and which relay it is?

I plan to place some kind of foam over the relay or the whole box to isolate the noise...

Thank you,
Tony

Tony. I don't know if any of the attached pics will help you or not BUT after studying and reading all about the wiper system, I'm a bit baffled myself. Somewhere there are relays to control it BUT now I'm not even sure exactly where they are located.



Fuse block I/P location under drivers side dash

Location of the IG1 relay on the fuse block

finally the complete wiring schematic of the front wipers (according to Helm ) seems there are some relays missing ???

It can only help. Not sure now that I confused myself :? Good luck!
