Default wIPER mODULE ISSUE

Does anyone know where the wiper module is located-

I have removed the glove box and see a blue module.

Is this the wiper module?

The XK8 does not have a wiper module per-se, but rather has a Body Processor Module (BPM) that controls dozens of functions, including the wipers.

There are, however two wiper relays (Run/Stop and Fast/Slow) which are controlled by the BPM in the brake booster enclosure. They are the two relays closest to the firewall.

Smile Many Thanks White !!

I just finished changing out the whole wiper and motor assembly very easy actually !!

I will check the park microswitch and repair the orig then resell it later-probably never-----LOL-

Ill check the relays after I troubleshoot the used install-


Any info on setting the wiper arms properly after replacement???

I am assuming they were left in park position.

Thanks again for all the help

no real magic in setting the wiper position, just get it in the 'off' position, and insert those wipers back as low as possible w/o traveling over the lower windshield trim. It took me several tries to get it perfect after tightening it up and testing...such small increments in that toothy arm-bolt.
