Default '82 windshield wiper issues

My wipers aren't working properly on my '82 and haven't since my delay wipers stopped. The motor is fine and works with 12v supplied and the wiper switch is new. Is there a relay for the delay wipers that I'm overlooking?

Yes the relay is in the compartment with your jack.

Thanks. I don't know why but I thought it may have been behind the glove box.

Would a bad delay wiper relay stop my wipers from working? Like I said above the wiper motor is working with 12v's and the switch is new.

I'll run v-meter tests on the wiper motor harness later.

Yes the delay relay can stop it from working.Some of the guys have talked about a harness that bypasses the relay and gives you a regular non delayed wiper system.

Thanks.

I remember seeing that somewhere but I was working on other projects at the time. If I not mistaken, the delay-relay and non-delay harness where both discontinued. If anyone knows where I can get either please let me know.
