Scott,

  I'm sure there is a fuse for the wiper motor but before I began looking for that, I'd take a test light to the motor to make sure it isn't getting power. Next I'd look for the fuse. You say you work at a dealership but don't say what kind of dealership. If you work at a Ford dealership, they should have a book showing the location of the fuse box. On the inside of the lid, it should tell you which fuse is for the wipers. IF you DON'T work at a Ford dealership, you can look in the owners manual to see which fuse goes to the wipers. IF you don't have the owners manual, you can go to your local library and look in the Reference Section for a wiring diagram on that car. You can't check out the books but you can find the info you need and photocopy it to take back to the car. I have never heard of a wiper relay. I just looked in a Motocraft catalog and it didn't list one. That is not to say it doesn't have one, it may just be Ford Only...???
  I'm sorry to have taken so long to respond but I have been out of town. I should have gone in and said I was on vacation. This is the best advice I can give and I'm sorry. As I said, I'm a Parts Pro, NOT a Tech. Good luck brother..
