John,

That's a common relay.  Give one of the parts vendors a call.  They may not
list it on the website, but I'm sure they can get one ASAP.

Should be about $6 or $7.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: Load Reduction Relay Failuire

  Anyone ever hear of this?

I looked on three major list vendor sites and didn't find this listed.
It's VW PN 191 937 503. Has a big "18" on the back side.

When the ignition switch is turned on, this thing is activated - load
reduction relay. You can feel it click under your finger tips when the
ignition is turned on. This relay supplies power for headlight
operations, and it also enables the front and rear wipers and the heater
blowers,, both front and rear, as well as the wiper washer pumps.

If you know of a source, please let me know.

Thanks,

John
