A wiper relay in a car is responsible for controlling the function of the windshield wipers. When the driver activates the wipers, the relay receives signals from the switch and initiates the operation of the wiper motor. The wiper relay serves as a switch that allows power to flow from the battery to the motor, which drives the wiper arm. Without the wiper relay, the wipers would not work as there would be no connection between the switch and the motor.

The wiper relay also provides protection for the wiper motor by controlling the amount of power supplied to it. This prevents the motor from overheating or drawing excessive power that could damage the wiper system. In addition, the relay ensures that the wipers operate only when required, conserving energy and prolonging the life of the wiper motor. If the wiper relay fails, the windshield wipers may not operate at all, or they may function erratically. In such cases, it is advisable to replace the faulty relay as soon as possible to ensure safe driving and clear visibility during inclement weather conditions.
