    It is supposed to be plug in compatible. Instructions will not show you how to remove the old relay. Sorry. Send IPD an email and ask for specifics on removal, then send them to me so that I can order one. I hate the 7 sec interval. Even my old 92 MPV had a variable position on the wiper stalk.

      apparently the ipd instructions make this a 15 minute swap...but im telling u not unless they tell you how to get the old one out, upside down with head wedged against the pedals and mingures crushed up against stuff certainly WANTS to only take 15 minutes!

        I had a Triumph TR-6 once so I was used to repairs in tight places. I found it was easier to remove all the lower relays first, install the IPD relay, then reinsert the others. They were color coded on the S70 so it was hard to screw up. If you do it this way, it won't take very long to do.
