Wiper washer not working - where is relay

[Kurt W. Deschler]

Washer problem solved. Turns out the wrong connector was hooked to the
washer motor. When you disconnect the pump, the right connector falls down
while the other connector stays up by the pump motor. I probably did this
when I removed the reservoir to replace my rack. Anyone know what this
other connector is? 2 spades with |- pattern, blue/white and brown
wires. I hope I didn't short out anything important.
