Do you guys think this is a relay or wiper motor problem? Thanks for your input.

The rear wipers and windshield fluids do not seem to be working. FUSES are good.

First port of call would be to check the fuse for the wipers. Rule that out first. Then listen for the clicking of the relay. If it clicks when you operate it then that should show it working. If the fuse checks out and the relay is clicking then next would be a quick check to make sure the motor works. Simply by pass the switch to check the motor runs. If all checks out then likely to be the switch.

Rule out the simple stuff first before thinking worse case.

Well the washers do not work as well. Including the rear windshield washer and wipers. I've replaced the relay with 2 different ones from the junk yard and still nothing. I am no good at checking the ohm and the cruise control does not seem to be working which may be the harness that both the cruise control switch and wiper switch connects to. I am very puzzled as to what it may be.
