Yeah, a good 99 relay is kinda hard to find. Usually you can find one at the
pick-a-part yard if it's big enough or you go often enough. I never had any
luck so I bought a KAE programmable wiper relay online, and all I can say is
"don't bother". Instead of programming sensibly via switching to
intermittent and back, you set the interval by pulling the lever to "wash".
Totally non-intuitive. I eventually stumbled across a 99 relay on
ebay.deand replaced that KAE garbage. These guys:
<http://www.elv.de/> (enter "wi 95" in the "suche" box, lower left, to find
it)
make an aftermarket plug in replacement that duplicates the function of the
classic programmable 99. They're in germany though...
