Hello, the archives brought up info on a w140 1992 300SE but not my '89 W126 300SE.

Does this model have a main wiper relay and a combination wiper relay (for controlling low and intermittent speeds) ?

If so is it located and mounted to the top of the main fuse box?

My W126's wipers do not operate. (no motor noise either- so no current most likely)
The #17 red fuse is good and I replaced it anyway.
The wipers do not work at any speed but the stalk does operate the washing system.

So I suspect the main relay. Please help me verify that it exists and where (and what it looks like).

Thanks

Most MB's from 1986-96 uaes a combination relay for wipers & turn signals.

In the rear section of the fuse box on a W124 chassis.
