Yeah its usually the motor, have replaced many and not one single relay yet lol.
Its the 2 purple relays for auto-wipers.
I've tried cleaning them and they only worked for another week before failing again. For less hassle and the tenner it costs to replace the whole thing, I just do that.
Remove wiper arms (13mm nuts)
Remove scuttle both sides (3x T20 screws)
Remove triangle cover plate (3x 13mm bolts)
Unplug motor
Remove motor/linkage bolts (6x 10mm bolts)
Lift motor out
Then up to you whether you just stick a good used unit in or strip it down.
