Subject:Electrical problem: wipers, blowers, headlights

I have an intermintant electrical problem. I am wondering wether there is a
short somewhere, a bad relay or something else.
The issue is with the wipers, headlights and blowers (at least), they all
intermittantly cycle off and on together. They can remain off for as long
as 1/2 an hour but will eventulay cycle back on. I can hear a relay click
from the fuse box. Will a relay click out if there is a short somewere? or
is it signifying relay end of life.
As far as I know the electical system is stock save for the relay for
higher wattage head light bulbs. I has been a very wet spring here in the
pacific north west, that said everything looks dry under the dash and on
the floor.

Any ideas on how to procede would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rick
