Back to the wiper motor...

I posed a question last Fall about the wipers on my '05 9-3 and came to these threads. Haven't had the time to pull the motor and work on it so I've just been grinning and bearing it since. It does seem to work correctly on occasion... Shortly after reading these threads covering the wiper motor as the issue, I started having another problem--the high beams in my headlights would not stay on without holding the switch on the steering column. Looking at the wiring diagrams, the headlights and wipers both go through a relay on the steering column; could that be bad and causing both issues? I hope not, as I have no clue, or equipment, to reset codes and such. A little nervous about working around the air bag... Any thoughts on this problem combo?
