A relay is a type of electrical switch and is replaced very similar to a fuse. Pull out and replace with new..Your vehicle has two wiper relays. Both are located in the underhood fuse block (in engine compartment, next to left strut tower). Most relays run around $10 - $20 and will look similar to picture below...
