It looks like I need to replace the windshield wiper motor relay on my LR2. I can't select high speed and the car says the relay is bad. Anyone know exactly what relay I need to buy? This is one of those things where there are a gazillion suggestions from shady vendors but no one will tell me for sure it's the correct one. The service manual is no help with the part number, neither is the Russian LR Catalog web site.
The fuse/relay box (engine compartment) diagram shows two relays for the wipers. One for basic on/off power, and a second for variable speed. Sounds like the speed relay is your focus. It's position R8 in the box. Probably has a Ford part # on it, not an LRxxxxxx number.
Can you check for the part #? If not, I can check mine in the morning.

I bought one of these inexpensive Relay Testers about a year ago. I tested it with known good and bad relays I have on hand and it works like a charm. Of course, you can rig up some wiring to test a relay, but this device is so much more convenient, and cheap as dirt to buy (less than 10 bucks on Aliexpress or Temu).
Haven't used it yet to diagnose any faults, but will be handy to have when the need arises.
