This problem has been covered in the archives, but it seems the CEGer who took the most direct approach is no longer among us ...
My windshield wiper's intermittent function and washer-activation function have stopped working. Archive posts say the relay is the most likely reason. The (unfortunately) no-longer-with-us genious CEGer said he solved the same problem by opening the relay and carefully cleaning the contacts with the striker from a matchbook.
Question is: How to open the relay's casing? Trying to pry it open with jeweler's screwdrivers didn't work ... And I'm kind of reluctant to put it's opposite corners in the vice-grips and slowly squeeze it until it maybe opens like an egg ... no reassembly required.
Anyone know of a better way?
