Title says it all. I would like to change it for one that allows only one pass per actuation, but I can not seem to find it, or reference to its position in the owner's manual, workshop manual or online.
Anyone?

Sorry George, was thinking of the front wiper.
According to Adrians book the rear wiper relay is "mounted on motor assembly", so my guess is, that it's up under the shelf in the back window. I have the motor assembly in my spare parts bin, will go and check.

Not too difficult though. Take out the few screws holding the rear panel and parcel shelf and the motor/mechanism is accessible from there.
Better still, remove the wiper arm and motor - save some weight and use a delete bung for the rear glass!

Update,
It is indeed child's play to get to the relay on the rear wiper motor
However, I could not resolve my issue.
I want the rear wiper do pass only once per actuation, as opposed to the 2-3 passes it provides now
I tried swapping with the intensive windshield washer relay as recommended on the 993 forum, but no dice. The headlight washer relay is a no-go either
Would anyone know which relay would be a fit-in for a single pass per actuation?

Update,
Done and works. hit the switch, one pass. Want more? Keep your finger on the switch
The relay neded is a basic working relay, with a resistance added between the 85 and 86 terminals. It is often labeled "53". 10$
