the wiper on my 97 XJ6 quit working, motor checked out fine, tried changing the column switch that didn't help relay still blowing out, , ,any suggestions?
thanks.
By the relay blowing out is it the motor power fuse # 6 / 20 amp LH engine fuse box or the control # 16 / 10 amp RH heelboard fuse box in the below pic . Or 1 of the 2 relays # 5 or # 6 in the pic .

First; thank you for your timely reply. I'm not with the car right now so I can't tell you which relay, so as soon as I am able I will get back to you with the info., again thanks
I pulled the relay 6. Fuse blows. Pulled the relay 5. Fuse still intact. So the relay 5 is toasted. Got to buy a new one then. Can i plug 5 plug to 6 relay to be able to use wipers?
The power passes through both relays in wire Yellow so you need both relays to eventually get to wire Blue ( slow ) or wire Red ( fast )
In pulling the suspect relay out and in your hand , the relay itself should read no continuity ( high infinite resistance ) between pin 4 and 5 on the relay in your hand , the pin 4 to 5 should read open
Do the 2 relays have the same part # ?
If so you can swap and see if you get the same results on popping the fuse
The part # LNA6706AA relay is used in many places on the X300 and you can swap it from the headlights ( right # 1 )or fog light ( left # 1 ) position
