There is no relay in the wiper/washer circuit. Chances are that the problem is in the wiper switch assembly. There are actually four switches inside the assembly. Try the "mist" option on the switch because it is controlled separately from the ON and pulse settings. That might at least work until you can get the switch replaced (although it would be awkward to hold the switch on in a heavy rain).
