Wiper relay location

[micjaggerV8 (phillip keeter)]

Happy New Year.
I need to replace the wiper relay in my '76 XJ12C. I can not determine the location of the relay after looking at wiring diagrams. I believe it may be located under the dash on the passenger’s side. Is this correct?
Thank you,
Phillip

Happy new year!
On my RHD S3, it’s where the fuses are, passenger side.

I am going to assume that your SII XJ12 is the same as my SII XJ6 in this
area.
The Repair Operations Manual (ROM) lists the following for Windshield Wiper
Motor Relay Remove and refit:

1. Disconnect Battery
2. Drop Passenger seat side dash casing per 76.46.11
   76.46.11: Drivers Under Scuttle Casing
   1. Unscrew locking ring securing speedometer trip to underscuttle
   casing.
   2. Rmove two screws securing casing and quarter panel to fascia
   support
   bracket.
   3. Lower top of casing sufficient to allow access to rheostat.
   4. Noting position detach leads from rheostat.
   5. Withdraw under scuttle casing and quarter panel from car.
3. Release relay securing spring clip.
4. Pull relay unit from base connector block.
   …
   so I’m not positive which side it’s on but it appears to be close to the
   outer lower corner of the dashboard above the footwell. The relay appears to be a
   12 pin rectangular shaped relay and has a spring wire clip over the top to
   retain it. P/N is listed as C38952.

Thank You David, I’ll take a look.

It is located under right end of dash just above the emergency fuel shut off. Easy to find if you know where to look.
