To replace the windshield wiper relay on a BMW 3 Series, open the hood to access the fuse box located just below the windshield. To open it, unscrew its mounting screws: it contains 4 relays and 5 fuses.

The wiper fuse is the one located at the top right and is usually yellow. This can then be disconnected and replaced with a new replacement part; the new relay should be inserted to ensure that the wipers function correctly.
