Where is the wiper relay? In the wiper amp?

My S14 had the same problem. Turned out my wiper amp was full of water. I don't know how different the S13 system is though.

wiper amp is in the engine bay by the brake master/booster. It's the green box.

swweet , ill check those things , how do i know if a relay has gone bad? i fixed my problem temp. i just plugged in my sleepy eye switch into then two prongs for the wiper fuse and i can switch the wipers on and off whenever i want...and then i just popped my wiper fuse into the light fuse holder and everything works..EXCEPT: my hood sprayers still donot spray , yet they turn the wipers on like it actually did spray..and no im not outta fluid..lol
