So I had problems when arriving NC with the wipers not working and then later in the day working, same with radio. I had replaced the fuses and I just replaced all the relays. Still not working, rechecked fuses and they are OK. Not sure what else to check.

Multimeter time... Dig that out and the wiring diagram and have at it.

It may be the connection of the relays. I cleaned them and the sockets with a contact cleaner and spread the relay posts a little and it fixed it right up. I had no horn as well and they all came back up. No wipers, horn, radio. Fixed them right up.

I just had a loose relay behind the fuse panel cause the same thing. All I noticed was no wipers and the defrost switch backlight didn't work. I don't have a radio.

Install the J West fuse panel and all your troubles will go away........

It will cure the loose fuse syndrome but if you don't have loose fitting fuses causing bad a bad connection keep looking. If you have a JWest use the fuses that light up when they blow. Easy to spot the blown fuse and you won't need an ohm meter to find which fuse blew.
